@Sand_spitter In games, yes, but in real life, gun size and weight helps to mitigate the recoil, size of charge and bullet grains also matter.
In reality, the AK-47 (7.62 x 39) has MORE felt recoil than the M-60 LMG (7.62 x 51) due tothe M-60 weighing almost 6 kg more.
This is also why IRL a proper 12-guage with a stock and field barrel has less felt recoil than the abomination that is the Shockwave.
Now, if you were talking anyone carrying an LMG (except Rampart, that could be part of her passive) was much SLOWER, because they are 9 to 15 kg, on that we would be in 100% agreement.
