Rebuttal??

Your right, there was hardly any kick at all, in fact, you could probably shoot it holding just the pistol grip and having no worries of dropping the weapon, its that light of a kick. In fact now that i think about it you'd have more of chance to drop it from its weight and akwardness in the one hand than from any recoil. This asessment is based on semi-auto ROF only mind you. With as heavy as the weapon is, i doubt that there would be much more recoil to the shoulder in full-auto mode. This is just an educated guess mind you as i have never shot one on full-auto.
