Foolish question.
Are Eclipse Phase railguns recoiless? Or do they have something comparable to kickback with a standard gas propelled firearm?

Re: Foolish question.
To be honest, I wouldn't call that a foolish question. I have the same question about noise; a projectile whipping through the air at that speed might be close to silent, it might not, I honestly don't have the qualifications to answer.

They fully compensate for recoil, at least to the point that it doesn't affect the user.

Thanks! This is so odd. This thread is supposed to be in EP General, yet its not showing up for me in the list of threads for the forum. I have to go in through my Subscription page in order to find it. The whole forum has been acting screwy for me.

Not to be controversial but yes they do suffer from recoil. It is assumed that it is compensated for in some way that removes all it's effects from the game mechanics.
