I'll keep this nice and short.
I find that the speed our "personas" can accurately fire (By the shoulder) the SVT and G41 is unrealistic, and probably is the true source of general dislike for them. Right now, I could jump in game, find a server that is running Barracks, get either of the semis, and be at the top of the boards in terms of both teamwork and kills, simply because of the lack of recoil plus the speed I can make it go.
I'm proposing that a little invisible timer starts up whenever you first fire a semi by the shoulder, and whenever you fire within that timer, the recoil after that shot is worse than your first shot. If you keep firing within the timer, the timer gets longer and longer until you rest or reload.
Example time! (Just a example) -
Lets say the timer on the SVT is two seconds. You fire once, your recoil is the normal recoil, but then you fire before two seconds passed, so your recoil was a bit worse and one second was added to the timer, and yet again, you fire before the timer was up, so your recoil is worsened and another second is added. Now, you wait the four seconds before you shoot again, and your recoil went down to normal.
Now, I'm not asking to punish semi-autos for being semi-auto, but with the lack of jamming, there needs to be something to make bolt actions more appealing to players. Most of you are probably going to say "Larger maps will make bolts better!" and "These are trained soldiers, they can handle the recoil!", and I disagree with both.
For one, all larger maps will do is affect accuracy, and they'll have to be massive to really tell the difference between bolts and semis, if there is a difference in the first place. In which the bolt will still have a big disadvantage.
When it comes to trained soldiers, I don't care how will you're trained, or how well you understand the rifle, the 7.62x54 has a ton of kick (Can't speak for the 7.92). Plus if you have ever fired a rifle that has a steel plate on the back of the stock, you'll know that you just won't want to fire it rapidly unless you're a glutton for punishment.
