Acknowledge your last kitnut617 👍

Rickshaw:
As it is inside you could claim that they have beefed up the recoil recuperaters so that it could absorb sufficient recoil to only recoil a metre or less.  From the pictures I supplied that looks about the distance it recoils in the AC-130 (going from the yellow recoil guard at the rear of the weapon).  You could remove the recoil recuperater (the tube over the barrel) and replace it with a slightly thicker tube to take that into account, if you wanted to be truly accurate.
