I assume that the angle between looking as far up as possible and as far down as possible is 180 degrees. Try counting the amount of rounds it takes to get from bottom to top then work out the values.

Almost all firearms, when shot, recoil up and to the left. This is especially true for automatic weapons.

Why to the left(unless of course you are shooting from your left shoulder)?

Because of the way you hold it I think. You hold it (most people do) with your right hand on the handlenexttothetriggerthingymajicwhatever and the left hand on the fron grip.
So it will go up and left because of that.

So it looks basicaly like this (from right above) I think when you hold the gun: _\


I don't know if any of that made sense, Kenwayy can probably give a better explanation.

Watch the end of the barrel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7ZQHmAcsPE. The firing position for a carbine isn't exactly the same as a fully fledged rifle but the effects should be similar.

I can vouch for that, I'm a left handed shooter, and when ever I shoot I'm tensing my entire upper body including my arm on the foregrip, thus the action of recoil causes me to deflect to the left and raising the barrel up, back and left. If the barrel were to raise to the right, it means that I'm practically pulling the rifle towards my right, thereby tensing my hands and making for a shaky firing position (I tend to twitch when tensing my hands).

Exactly. And if you are in a comfortable firing position does the barrel tend to return to its original position?

Yeah, because you're not moving your arms, just your entire frame in one movement.

DEV input? Aka a good bumping.

75 rounds unzoomed, 110 zoomed

unzoomed total units moved is 1.1 x 75 = 82.5
which gives 2.2 degrees per unit,

zoomed total gives 0.88 x 110 = 96.8
which gives 1.9 degrees per unit.

the avarage here is 2.05 degrees per unit, so each unit can be thought of as aproximately 2 degrees.

Awesome work. This means that recoil can be modeled very accurately.

great idea dude! its super realistic !! <3 u for ever

Really? From what i've seen the weapon behaves exactly the same all the time.
