“I remember seeing, back in 1965, photos of an Army Sgt holding an m-16 up to the front of his face and pulling the trigger. The purpose was to show how little recoil there was.”

“The AR-15 and other rifles in .566 have almost NO recoil.”

I have seen the same and done it as well albeit with an AR-15 not a M-16. No damage to me or the weapon. One point of order its .556 not .566
