CGI fire/flames in TV

[c2105026]

Something that really shits me is the overuse in general of CGI. Movies like Blues Brothers, Italian Job (the proper 1969 version), proper Indiana jones (not that 21st century abomination), and original Star Wars had vision, creativity, genuine proper filmmaking.

If we watch something like 300 or The Avengers.....question is what isn't CGI. As a result of late I have turned off action film and tv, preferring drama, tasteful comedy, and documentary.

Recoil is governed by Newton's third law.
With no mass for the gasses to act upon, a projectile, there will be no felt recoil.

The gases shoot out of the barrel. Newton's laws apply. Otherwise rockets or a jet engine wouldn't work.

I'm no firearm expert by a long shot... but if that was the case, how does it eject the spent round and load the next one? I understand the recoil would be noticeably less but I would think it still packs a fair kick as the gases have to go somewhere.

The extractor pulls the spent brass out of the chamber.
As for cycling the action I imagine they employ the same system as military weapons firing blanks, a constrictor is placed in the breach to keep the pressures high enough to cycle.

Ok the gasses would cause recoil, which would be negligible compared to a complete round since they have minimal mass.
