2) As a rule of thumb, I say:
- a permanent mounting (e.g., coax, on a gun shield, etc) the recoil is ignored
- on a quick-take-down mount (e.g., pintle mount, and including firing ports) the recoil is as if the weapon was on a tripod. If the weapon doesn't have tripod stats (e.g., an AK-74) I halve the base recoil.
That sounds right to me.
