That is where you are wrong recoil is applied for very bullet shoot which is the fire rate. The fire rate of the Plasma ChainGun is faster than the AP ripper which helps in so many levels, due to the fact they both have a bullet speed of 1 tile per second and a player moves 1 tile per second aswell. Since the fire rate is faster the ChainGun's recoil will increase player speed in the opposite direction the player is shooting increasing evasion in which a player can easily manipulate their speed to dodge bullets coming in a specific direction if they can handle bullet conserving of the Plasma ChainGun's 18 clip the player is easily safe from bullets harm and can do some damage aswell.
