muzzle rise

[lboos]

Need help,... what cause's muzzle rise when you fire a gun?.. my friend say's that if you hold a gun side ways [gangsta style] and fire it, the barrel will go horz. not vert .
i told him that it dosen't matter if you stand on your head, and fire the gun up side down that the muzzle rise will still be up [vert.].
how can i make this poor fellow understand why they call it muzzle rise? .
