You could also argue that the sacrifice in recoil to mimic the SUPER V design is more realistic. Let's face it airsoft guns have little rrcoil, obviously iimplementing a recoil reduction system would reduce it to nothing. Its still realistic in magazine capacity, bolt catch, mechanical function, and such and personally, I'd rather have the same firing mech as the real steel than more recoil. While I agree the recoil is disappointing, I think it was a worthy sacrifice.
Great review, as long as you guinea pig testers can run this thing for awhile without major flaws I'll definitetly pick one
