Tried one at a range before purchase and I was surprised at how little recoil there was. Loud yes, but it so much fun to shoot with an optic. Had a blast making smiley faces on the target like they did in that old Lethal Weapon movie.
Just watch your hands/belongings around the ejection port and/or the barrel, particularly after firing a large number of rounds: the energy of a fired round has to go somewhere (Newton's Third Law), and if the AR-15 is light with little recoil, that means a lot of the energy is leaving the gun as VERY HOT air.
Thanks for the tip! I watch Demolition Ranch and always look for what Matt has done as a guide to mostly what not to do with a firearm. He's burned himself quite a few times touching hot barrels.
Though his recent upload of pouring different adhesives and even concrete down the barrel of cheap HiPoint pistols he hates was eye opening. They can't be killed!

Don't be left handed is good start 😂
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Goddamnit! Ouuuuch! (Says the left hander shooting a right side ejection port weapons system like an AR)
Thank God I am am ambidextrous and right eyed!
