So after doing some testing with the HMG using pp armor and recoil armor.
PP armor
>Strictly better on 450 mode.
>Will headpop and use bullets more efficiently.
>3 round bursts at 700 has a negligible difference from recoil armor, especially when crouched or prone.
Recoil armor
>Standing while shooting with the gun is effectively the same as kneeling, which means you can burst fire 700 while standing.
>Sustained fire is dramatically better with recoil armor as the gun doesn't "bounce" as much while crouched or prone.
In practice.
PP armor is just better in nearly every situation.
That's not to say theres anything wrong with either, but the only way you can really make use of recoil armor in any meaningful way is sustained fire. However you will be doing a lot of reloading like this, and you will need to be finding good "firing arcs" constantly and catch enemies out in the open.
An example of the difference for sustained fire while prone.
