I need to know everything about this mythical forward recoil I'm brining it up because apparently you can not put rifle scopes can not be put on airguns because air guns apparently have a forward recoil and rifle scopes aren't made to handle this. I need someone who actually knows what there talking about to explain whether or not this forward recoil is true and if so why?

From what I've read on these sites, springers tend to beat the living @#^&$^ out of normal rifle scopes.
If I remember correctly, it's from the spring bouncing back after it hits the end of travel after the trigger is pulled.

^^^ Yep!
Spring air guns, especially magnum springers (i.e. PAL rated) are known to beat up powderburner scopes! The first magnum airgun I owned (a Diana 48) damaged a decent powderburner scope after a number of shots.
When the trigger is pulled on a spring airgun, the piston/spring begin to travel forward, there is a slight recoil rearward, similar to a small caliber powderburner. When the piston/spring assembly hits the end of the airchamber and comes to a rapid stop, there is a substancial movement forward. This forward motion is what can damage powderburner scopes, as most were not designed to withstand the rapid forward movement.
C02, pre-charged pneumatics and pump up pneumatic airguns do not damage powderburner scopes, as they only recoil (slightly) rearward.
Hope this helps.
