(2,708 posts)ezra: a typical AR pistol should between 1.5 and 2 times the recoil of a typical AR-15, depending on weight and configuration, or roughly comparable to a 7.62x39mm or .243 Winchester rifle.

Presuming 'chuck hawks' is good enough even if a blog, and your estimate is close, a 75 grain from the Winchester approximates the stockless handgun shooting a .223. The higher weight bullets run a bit high. I wasn't really thinking a 75gr would qualify tho, moreso over 150.
You estimate a stockless handgun shooting .223 between 5.7 & 7.8 free recoil energy.
I included some rifles above I know nothing about, for perspective.
Interesting.
