Hmmn, what is wrong with Hazrat? its not offensive!
Name me one rifle chambered in 7.62 calibre that does not have recoil in full auto fire!!
Correct.
Remember our high school physics - the law of Conservation of Momentum? In other words, when you fire a pistol, gun or a rifle, you impart momentum to the bullet which is equal to the mass of the bullet multiplied by its speed. The gun recoils because an equal momentum is created in the opposite direction; thus net momentum remains zero.
The above is an immutable fact and every gun will have a kick / recoil. The emphasis on design is how to balance the gun so that the negative momentum is distributed in such a way that recoil is kept to minimum. In my time the recoil was measured in foot pounds now it must be in the meters kg (?). I had effect of the recoil on my shot guns reduced by having a lighter trigger and improving shape of the stock. For the rifle standard way is through the muzzle break.
Reducing the size of the bullet and the charge will reduce the overall size of the negative momentum and consequently reduce the kick as well. Conversely, larger calibre and higher range will necessarily have larger recoil / kick.
On the same basis, everything else being the same, single shot rifle will have lesser recoil than semi- automatic. On full auto, any rifle firing 500 rounds per minute will have strong enough recoil that it would be difficult to keep the barrel straight which in effect means wastage of the ammunition. Keeping soldier well supplied with bullets on the battle field is a major logistics problem that is why British soldiers fought the Falklands war with the semi-automatic rifles. This is true even for the 5.56 ammo albeit effort required to keep the rifle straight is much less.
Rifle and ammunition manufacturers spend years & millions on research to create a product that is the best combination of durability, reliability, accuracy, rate of fire, range and stopping power. That is why modern rifles are so expensive.
Pak Army is using 50 year old designs. All state of the art rifles will have less kick than G-3 & AK-47; however, no matter what, if you stick to 7.62 calibre, your soldiers will have to learn to cope with a bigger ‘Kick’ than those using 5.56 ammo.
