One more rabbit hole. Will stop if there is no interest. Don't intend to have monologue.

The recoil force is between the heel of the butt stock and the shooter's shoulder. It can be tapped off to cycle the action on auto loaders, as JohnKSa described in his post. Such designs are called short-recoil or long-recoil. Such designs, although simple, have one drawback. It can be limp-wristed or limp-shouldered, that the recoil force is inadequate to complete the cycling of the action.

Gas operated action is another kind of auto loading. Can gas operated actions be limp-wristed or limp-shouldered?
