How does gyrostab make it low-recoil? My understanding of how gyros work (not
comprehensive, by any means ;+) don't let them absorb recoil, just help you
keep the gun pointed at the target. Gyros resist torqueing moments (is my
terminology correct? ) but the full recoil should still hit your shoulder
(wrist, whatever...).
Yes? No?
