[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1602973, member: 96226"] I ain't trippin'. I know what I know and why I know it. Your thesis I do take some limited issue with because just having a recoil pad is not necessarily helpful. It needs to have the right level of hardness and thickness and still isn't going to do much even if it is the right hardness and thickness. For those that aren't familiar with the related science: Look up "inertia", "energy", "velocity", "durometer" and "coefficient of restitution" and prepare to discover a whole new world (also consider that there are people in the world that really get off on studying things like durometer and coefficient of restitution). A recoil pad is the least effective way to control perceived recoil. You're still eating all the energy, just increasing the time it takes by a ridiculously tiny margin. Adding fixed position rifle mass does as well as a recoil pad, not very. Adding mass that can move around like mercury recoil reducers can be fairly effective. Using a brake/suppressor actually reduces the amount of energy that reaches the shoulder and makes them tremendously effective. [/QUOTE]
