I was thinking that as well or it could just be the case that it's simply a bigger bullet so that's why recoil is higher. But then I see videos like the one here where the recoil does not seem that high. I guess it really just depends on the shooter at the end of the day. Though I want to see if adding a muzzle brake or compensator will help it.
What do you mean by “recoil less”? If you are referring to the AK107 and AEK 971, the former is still being tested while the latter is being produced, but isn’t the standard rifle in the Russian Armed Forces. These rifles have a counter balancing mechanism that reduces the recoil, aka more parts which is something a soldier doesn’t want. Even the US’s NGSW candidates doesn’t feature a “recoilless” mechanism. However there are gpmg’s that do have a mechanism that has a recoil reduction system like the mg338 and the new Chinese lmg (if I remember correctly).
This is a Recoilless rifle.
Hey, look, optics! Would you look at that? If only this was posted 4 pages ago it would've saved us some pages.
how do i get rid of this comment sorry
Unfortunately, you can’t. You’ll have to replace the entire post’s text with the word, “deleted”, or something like that.
That is not a recoilless rifle. That is a 2 stage rocket launcher. Stage 1 blows the rocket out of the tube and puts it some distance between it and the user so they are not affected by back blast. Stage 2 turns the rocket motor on and propels it.
