I'm still confused how a metal slug/canister fired through magnetic induction can even HAVE recoil.
If it's for balance though, fine.
IMO they should just remove all kick/recoil from the thing, and increase damage a shot to like 70-80 and reduce RoF by like 30-40%, but that's just me being stupid.
I'd honestly wish they find a way to make it less effective at CQC by like a diminishing Capacitor that has to be respun(let go, fire again) and give it no recoil and curent DPS.
Example: .5 second charge time(net +.17) fires at 666 RPM(like current), RoF begins slowing down at 10-13 rounds, finally "stopping" at 400 RoF at 18-20 rounds.
you can either continue firing at 400 RoF for the rest of the mag, or stop, respin and fire at 666 RoF for another 15-20 rounds.
Please CCP, stop the madness of giving railguns RECOIL.
As for the Assault bonus: We could either be insane and give it a straight Effective(not Optimal) range bonus, or be more sane(and boring) and give it a plain reduction to the RoF slowdown of like 10% per level.
start 666 RoF, slows to 400 (without bonus) net change 266 RoF.
with proposed assault bonus: 666 RoF, reduces by 266(0.9 through .5, depending on level.) 133 loss at max level, resulting in a 533 RoF for remainder of mag.
All i ask, is either a "You're stupid Lynn, stop trying to be smart" or a "Wow, that actually works, thanks for continuing to think, even while everyone hates your ideas."
Of course though, i haven't played in about 3-4 months or so, so i expect this to be the former.

You're missing my point though, in Rail weaponry the slug/bullet/tincan that is fired isn't using a propellant, like normal bullet weapons.
The thing is, the bullet isn't being "pushed" by anything other than this mysterious "magnetism" thing. This slug isn't touching the borders of the gun, other than for being "spun" up(making the plasma payload volatile from a stable state)
Of course though, if CCP or a CPM can tell me "it's just there for balance" then i'll shut up. It's just my personal "well i would have done _______ and not ______"

Do something for me.
Take a big, BIG magnet(one of those monofilimadidadoo magnets from Amazon, yeah those super powerful ones) and push a 2 foot thick steel ball with it(or whatever the limit is on those things.)
You, holding the magnet, will feel NO resistance when pushing the ball, however the ball will move.
On the other hand, if you were to push that magnet further towards it or if the ball had it's own magnetic field(like from repeatedly running a magnet along a metal object) it would push back, and you would feel an eery sense of resistance(or attraction) towards the metal ball.
As long as the item you're pushing has no magnetic field of it'sown, and you aren't physically touching the object, there will be no push on you.

Talks about magnets and stuff. I don't know science, but maybe some kind of sonic cavitation outside the gun generates your weapon kick. Rail guns still create a tremendous amount of pressure. You are moving a object through a medium like air at a hypersonic velocity...and as you can see rail guns kick back in that video.
Didn't click the link, but i see where that's going, somethign about the ridiculous speeds of hte bullet throwing air around violently, and thus throwing off the shooter's aim, not from "recoil" perse, but from the environment's reaction to the ridiculously highspeed projectile?
Okay then. I'll shut up about Rail Kick.
