So High Recoil is because of ammunition and not because of the rifle for Sig 716,but for OFB version of 7.62*51 assault rifle..the recoil was due to the weapon itself and hence not worth even considering.

Anyways The R1a paper from G Choubey is not far away.
R1a is in a way crucial to delink language from Genes .Confirmation of autuchtonous origins of R1a in India will totally delink Languages from genes or Europeans will have to accept OIT and the antiquity of Vedic language
