We own some military weapons as well and anything using 5.56 the recoil is minimal. At 7.62, you start thinking about reducing recoil.
Overall, recoil reduction technology is welcome in the gun community. Weight and balance must be considered in its development.

But, as said above, fit and operation affect felt recoil. For example, this weekend I met up with some former students that think the AK and SKS (w/ 10lbs of crap hanging off rails) are The Thing to Have. So we met at a private range, I brought out the FAL, and we started experimenting. Even thought the FAL weighted less (!!) than their tacticooled out AK and SKS, and it shoots a more powerful round, the felt recoil was much less and controlled double taps were very easy to do...
