I find the title of this thread to be misleading and link-bait-ish.
To the OP: Do you THINK this is the "next big thing" in AR technology? Your title would lead me to believe that you do.

Id bet a 9lb+ ar with a huge muzzle brake and heavy drum magazine would have similar recoil
It is funny actually that both of these are "old news" as they are rather interesting designs. But then, there are many old designs that have gone nowhere or no very far that are very interesting!
We just need to get to energy weapons and be done with it.

If it ain't broke dont fix it.
Honestly aside from making it lighter or making a new way to attach something to it fire arms development has really stalled since the proliferation of polymer. Consider that the French developed direct impingement in 1901 and the multi lug rotating bolt since before that. It's all old news. Honestly think of one thing other then lighter material or new attachment systems that you think is truly innovative.
True but this is not a fundamental change to the guns we are building. Also aimpoint has been around since the 70s, and both the concepts of reflex sights and magnified optics have been around
Since the early 1900 and earlier. So what's changed? They are getting lighter and smaller, buy what's the fundamental change.
with how people bitch about weight, i don't see that thing going anywhere in the US.
Not to mention, the 5.56/.223 has mild recoil anyway. I don't think the added complexity would be worth the time and effort to implement.
The dude in the lantac dragon promo video seems to do an extremely good job of keeping the muzzle steady while emptying a mag in full auto without the need of any counter mass doodad.
