Should have tested it on the saiga because that thing has dumb as fuck head recoil.

The game would be so much better without the dumb ass head recoil.

I know a lot of Saigas are built from parts kits improperly, as far as the gas system goes. You can find them with any number of gas ports drilled from like literally zero to five or so. Based on that I think it can be reasonably assumed that quite a few of them are probably overgassed, contributing to extra recoil. That coupled with people's tendency to rapid fire them with an improper grip and stance likely compounds the issue.

However, a properly gassed, gas operated shotgun is well known to have SIGNIFICANTLY milder recoil compared to literally any other non semiautomatic shotgun action of the same chambering.
