Recoiless vs recoiling FWB experiment

[MDriskill]

Anyone remember the 80s ads (Sussex Armoury, I think) for discounted HW55s claiming scientific proof that the pellet had left the barrel before any recoil-induced movement took place?

I always thought they were BS.

This one, LOL...? Silly yes - but wouldn't you like to go back and pick up a few guns and accessories at these prices!

Thank you for this, chaps. I will have seen this advert at the time but had forgotten all about it. Yes, some far-out claims there, for sure. But what a lovely rifle. And whilst the Feinwerkbau sledge action rifles do still retain character, I know where they're coming from with the "dead feeling" comment as many designs these days (mostly pneumatics, it must be said), although impressive, leave me feeling cold and "unconnected". Talking mainly "sporting" designs here.....
