Sounds like dishonest cobblers to me! Or maybe they believed this twaddle (surely it was actually nonsense?).
To be fair ‘Air rifle headquarters’ was an American catalogue written by Ian Law, I think he was trying to convince Americans of the advantage of airguns over firearms, in comparison they probably were a bit quieter. Nothing to do with the ‘delayed recoil’ though…He mentions the ‘virtual silence’ of airguns a lot actually, as well as the accuracy and also the revelation that they don’t produce any smoke!
