Guns^3 calculated the recoil of the 5.56mm version at 95 kilograms. (Slightly less if using AP ammo). As a GM I am thinking that holding it and directing fire of the 7.62mm version would be like benching over 150 kilos. You would also have to be braced against something mighty strong or you would be knocked to the ground.

I only allowed the M214 to be used once in a Dark conspiracy game when a heavy weight boxer had taken two levels of alien cybernetic enhancement for a 12 total strength.
