I've known many Civil Engineers, including my late father-in-law and most recently, my nephew graduated from a great Tennessee institution, Vanderbilt, with a Civil Engineering degree. A Civil Engineer from any accredited college is fully equipped to calculate recoil forces and much much more. They routinely deal with dynamic forces in their trade. Lest that building or bridge fall down.
