However, I think the main impact of the EtronX system may be in gun safety. I would not have a seizure if Remington extended the EtronX system to other models in the near future, and it may be that other manufacturers will use the system under license. Pounding a primer to set it off has had a glorious 200-year run. Now may be the time for something different. Recoil is relative.
Some people are more sensitive to it than others.
In the past, I' ve said often and loudly that I hated muzzle brakes and would never use one. This conviction has gone by the boards in the form of a Dakota 76 African Grade rifle in .450 Dakota caliber. The .450 is a very, very serious cartridge that is suitable for slaying enraged municipal buses and trophy cement mixers, and its recoil is more than I can handle anymore.
