M16 recoil to easy to control

[wolf 9_3]

The M16's recoil when rapid firing (in single shot mode) is far too easy to control. I feel this makes the game feel unbalanced, less enjoyable and not realistic.

Please make the recoil harder to control when rapid firing

I've had the pleasure of using an ar15 and the recoil was about that controllable in semi auto, not only that but the rifle I used was about a pound lighter than the m16a1, so yes it is actually realistic. Not to mention the AK is extremely easy to control semi auto in this game, so it's a moot point.

Sorry Wolf but it's like the real thing, i.e. very easy to control. The real thing handles like this due to a combination of a completely inline stock coupled with the inherently low recoil of the 5.56 round.

In short the M16 is as easy to control ingame as it should be, infact I think AMG completely nailed its recoil characteristics.

Also the AKM is almost as easy to control ingame, and that whilst spewing out rounds that will go through a brick wall, something the 5.56 will not do so readily.

Rapid semi auto fire being pretty easily to control with AK's and especially the M16 in the game is how they are in the real world. You can, and people do, literally "walk" your fire onto your target if you missed your initial shots in real life. It's one of the reasons intermediate cartridges phased out full power rifle cartridges in standard issue rifles as full sized rifle cartridges are a lot harder to pull off fast follow up shots without completely destroying your sight picture.

I understand the 5.56 round has low recoil compared to other cartridges. My issue is during rapid fire. In-game when crouching you can control the M16 rapid fire to a point where it's hard to believe there is any recoil at all. This is even without holding shift to mimic "holding your breath."
