Barret Recoil

A Springfield 03 has worse recoil.  A Mosin Nagant has worse recoil.  A bolt action 12 gauge loaded with 3" magnum slugs has MUCH worse recoil.

Oh sure, the Barret will move you.  But it's like getting hit by a fire truck.  Going 3 miles an hour.   It's doesn't punch you it shoves you.  My retina was in no danger of being detached

That's what I learned taking the Barret offa my bucket list.
