An electromagnetic gun isn’t completely recoilless but at least there’s no slug of pressurized gas exiting behind the projectile. Virtually all the felt recoil is energy that went into the projectile and sabot.

Very interesting! Is that something like a rail gun? I'm a ballistics nerd and will have a look. Thanks!
