Is the only true purpose of these to blow gasses and debris to the sides instead of out the back cover, or do they lessen recoil a little?
Got to thinking about it since my new Saiga kicks pretty hard (to me, I'm new to rifles and weigh 125 pounds), and I've started to customize it--vented foregrip, mmmmm.
Or is the whole of the recoil the actual firing and the bolt carrier shoving back, and not the gas pressure against it?
Reliability is still number one, but since chances are it's just a range toy, anything to make it more comfortable is good.
