You are joking? I suppose you load clips into your assault rifle?

What are you talking about. Assault rifles have muzzle climb but they don't kick much epically the AR-15.

Go back and re-read what I said before posting.

Your words.. Kick and recoil are two different things, kick is for bolt action rifles and recoil or muzzle climb is for assault rifles.

For every action, there is an equal reaction. You truely have no clue. Muzzle climb and recoil are related. "kick" is recoil. Muzzle climb is the effect of the shooter not being able to control the firearm because of recoil, which is the energy he is attemping to control/absorb.

Or by design of the rifle.
