Recoilless?

Is it really recoilless? Based on the preview video, it doesn't look like it. Maybe make note of this? As a trivia perhaps? — DESTINY 23:00, 8 August 2012 (EDT)

"Nothing is recoilless." - Everyone (Everywhere, anytime). :P Grizzlei ♥ ツ

Uh, nope. There's a lot of recoil after the Spartan fired a round. Recoilless rifles normally eliminate or reduce recoil; this weapon, however, does not show that.—

I presume you've fired a lightweight infantry railgun before, so I'll defer to your judgment. On a serious note, the discrepancy with its name and the gameplay function of the ARC-920 is probably due to the latter, knocking the player off-balance visually after using such a devastating weapon. The Onager mass driver cannon in Reach is very similar in-action with the ARC-920, including the visual hindrance. Grizzlei ♥ ツ

-:That's part of the gun's name so...why not?? Watched the video, its recoilless; the gun automatically opens a port so the user can reload it, its not discharging encasement shells.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Kells</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 23:20, 8 August 2012 (EDT)
