Yeah, agreed in the vibration being masked... although the mass of the rifle will also help with that...
I was more making the point about the veolcity of the muzzle being relatively constant, rather than rapidly changing (for example when excessive bounce is occuring), and that being a good starting point for why stroke reductions (to reduce that excessive bounce) can be a good idea...
But for sure, as I said at the beginning, the vibration detail from your article is very interesting as another factor - and possibly a more significant one too... especially if that translates to the muzzle, or indeed is magnified at the muzzle.... where did you stick your accelerometer ? 
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
