Ways to reduce recoil:
Increase weight of gun
Decrease weight of shot load and velocity of shot
Long way down the list is the recoil reduction of a gas semi-auto gun
Recoil reducing systems spread recoil over slightly longer impulse - the physics of recoil force in foot pounds are unchangeable -
An ill-fitting gun magnifies felt recoil.
Choose a light gun for much carrying and little shooting as in upland hunting.
A heavy gun suits target and waterfowl shooting.
