Balanced Recoil Concept - Overhyped or a Gamechanger?

[Talyn]

Over the years, numerous efforts have been made to improve the controllability and accuracy of firearms, notably automatic weapons. One such approach is the Balanced Action, which predates World War I. By incorporating a synchronized counter-recoiling balancer, designers aimed to reduce the recoil impulse generated by the weapon's moving parts by balancing the operating system. This system was intended to lessen the felt recoil, ultimately enhancing accuracy and controllability during bursts and automatic fire.

Difference in philosophy, there. IS/Western rifleman doctrine is, mostly, based on accuracy & weapons in single-shot mode, except in certain circumstances.

Russian/Eastern doctrine is, while not quite spray & pray (burst & do your worst?), it’s pretty close. This system is designed more for auto fire than single shots.
