well its weird, i've tested the same guns and i get more recoil than kevster infact i get almost 5mm of onscreen recoil (approx) on the pistol - ok it doesnt kick back for long - but i can see it when im firing - when watching from him - especially when he was arround the blue flag area - it shows little or no recoil
still - thats why i posted it here - wasnt and still am not certain either way
i know of some config tweeks can lower recoil and they arnt banned - but still seems alot for a cvar change
