Rather than recoil because its stock and rails have way higher recoil negation is currently in closed testing.
The stock is filled with foam inserts to dampen noise, and an enhanced recoil pad mitigates felt recoil.
Barrel cam distributes recoil forces over a longer period of time to reduce felt recoil.
What I notice any uncomfortable recoil, the operating system, and recoil pad accomplished their job.
One inch, rubber recoil pad softens felt recoil in large caliber rifles and shotguns.
The recoil of the weapon, each weapon has a set amount of recoil, for example, a SMG would have more recoil then a handgun.
