Yeah, I've wondered about recoil mitigation systems at TL9+. If it's possible to replicate the advantage of the Kriss Vector as given in Tactical Shooting without significant downsides or astronomical cost, I would expect that modification to become very popular.

In game terms, Rcl 1 is awesome, even if you never fire at more than controlled semi-automatic rate of fire. If the system can be minituarised in 1-2 Tech Levels, it would even improve pistol performance markedly. If it worked on service rifles, it would be a massive advantage.

I'll grant that the real-life benefits of reducing perceived recoil and muzzle climb might be less noticable than the Rcl 1 of the Kriss Vector, at least as regards semi-auto fire from a typical low-caliber, fairly heavy weight rifle is concerned. .223 recoil in a rifle weight package is already pretty anemic when firing at RoF 3.
