This Q&A video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the factors contributing to a firearm's difficulty in full-auto fire, specifically addressing the 'world going gray and fuzzy' effect. Host Ian McCollum explains that physical recoil impulse and concussion are the two primary culprits. He details how bolt impact on the receiver and muzzle blast, especially from short barrels with muzzle brakes, cause disorientation. McCollum highlights the Ultimax light machine gun's 'constant recoil system' as a design that mitigates these issues by ensuring the bolt decelerates without hitting the receiver, leading to more controllable and pleasant full-auto fire.
