What the fuck were these retards thinking? They could have achieved 80% of the recoil reduction by simply using a slightly long bolt movement à la Stoner's constant recoil designs (not quite so long tho since there's not much space) and they'd have gotten a rifle with good recoil and accuracy in a very simple design.

Yeah, the full auto recoil didn't look much heavier than a goddamn M4 in videos. The Textron had a really long buffer tube which must have helped too.
We truly live in the worst timeline.
