My AR weighs 9lbs. Yes, the barrel on a AR Pistol is shorter, developing less pressure behind the bullet, thus less kickback, but the Colt AR pistol weighs 5 lbs. 13.3 oz. The weight of the gun has an enormous impact on felt recoil.
Not sure what you're contending here; you say a stockless handgun shooting .223 has less kickback than an ar15 or m16? I'll ask straw man to comment on this.
Confiteor I initially thought an ar15 rifle would have similar recoil to a handgun shooting a .223, but it doesn't seem to be 'enormously' higher when considering recoil ratings; & that an ar15 has such low recoil for a rifle to begin with.
And I dunno the diff between free recoil & felt recoil, seem similar.
But the lesser weight has an 'enormous impact' on felt recoil?

Ezra estimates a stockless handgun shooting rem .223 between 5.7 & 7.8 free recoil energy.
Is that 'enormous' to you, crusader? or hilarious?
