What is the purpose of the RRR (Recoil Reducing Rail) on this air rifle?

The RRR (Recoil Reducing Rail) is designed to absorb shock and mitigate recoil. Its construction with polymer struts helps protect the internal components of the mounted scope from damage caused by the air rifle's firing impulse.
