QBZ-191 service rifle family

I wonder if there can be any way to mitigate Type 191 rifle's recoil,maybe a stock replacement, or foregrips?
If you're referring to the part at 4:07, recoil is pretty visibly reasonable consider the guy is firing with only a hand on the pistol grip with the front of the rifle on a stand, with the offhand at the stock rather than stabilizing it at the front.
There are a fair few videos of soldiers or law enforcement shooting the rifle with lesser effect, so it's really just a positional/grip choice.
It's already designed to have as minimal recoil as possible. They optimized the 191 for full auto instead of single shot performance (The rounds are slower than the 95 and the service life is much, much longer).
Is that why they gave the QBZ191 that AR type buffer tube? does a buffer mitigate recoil that significantly? I've heard 5.8mm is comparable to 5.56mm and 5.45mm and the trend in battle rifles is getting rid of buffer tubes so that stocks can be folded for compact storage.
