In order to have accurate and sustained fire, one must account for the recoil pattern and manually adjust aim accordingly.
In short, recoil is why those first two GIFs show our operator’s weapon drifting upwards and to the right.
Some may kick straight up dramatically, while others will drift over, up, and to the right. Recoil is a major part of using weapons in Modern Warfare, and it varies by weapon. This translates to a weapon “kick” that typically trends upwards. In the case of a weapon, that equal and opposite reaction is called recoil. Whether you decide to hip-fire or aim down sights, your operator will not be able to hold the weapon steady after it is fired, especially if the weapon is fully automatic.Īccording to Newton’s Third Law – remember that in school? – every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
