Fernando, 
 
I think that most reasoning is "reasonable".  This is why I did not exclude the possibility of a real existence of wooden devices to reduce the recoil.   
 
Of course such existed as the lug of the Pilsen gun sure does, apart from being a rest, effect one more thing: it makes the gun heavier where this is most useful to keep the kick back low. 
 
I hope the two of us can happily meet under this compromise. 
 
Michael
