And please don't swap the terms. Recoil? Leon likes the term bounce back

Bounce back = Energy that is not entirely absorbed by the strike and
which is deflected.

Recoil is a good term. Not all of the energy spent inside a bullet is
pushing the bullet down the barrel, much is absorbed by the person
shooting the gun.
