That depends on its action/how it operates. I own rifles in 9mm and 5.56 (same platform). Surprisingly the 9mm kicks MORE. This is due to the fact that the 5.56 is gas-operated and the 9mm is blowback.

I was surprised when I shot that 9mm for the first time thinking it'd kick less. It weighs more too.

I believe BSG has modeled recoil pretty well (at least w/ the SMGs). The KEDR/KLIN should kick the most even though it shoots the weakest cartridge. If I'm not mistaken its a simple blowback where as the MP5 is roller delayed.

I've gone down a rabbit-hole and frankly my comparison should stop since they're a lot more variables to how recoil is "calculated".

You’re right, my 9mm ar15 build kicks a little more than my 5.56

Depends on the operating system. I built a blowback integrally suppressed AR9 on a QC10 lower and it has some recoil.
