Recoil System: The gases from the recoil push 2 spring loaded heavy pistons located besides the barrel backwards. Thus, most of the movement related to recoil in the rifle is located in the 2 springs, not the gun itself. Also the, spring loaded mechanism helps to decrease the average force of the recoil felt by the user. Also, a 2 chamber muzzle brake/flash suppressor can be installed in order to reduce visual signature and recoil further.

Supressor: An internalized suppressor significantly diminishes bullet noise. The bullet still breaks the sound barrier, but it makes it impossible to determine where the bullet is coming from.
