It's another one of those vague areas: I took "as normal weapons" to mean
+1 per round fired, making a superMG burst get a +6 recoil modifier, not
+3. Still, either way is just as valid until it gets cleared up...

If it can't accept barrel-mounted accessories, the recoil comp must be a
gas vent. (I find FoF a bit patronizing in that respect -- at least the
SSC just said "Comes with a rating 3 gas vent on the barrel.")
