But .............. the equation is for calculated recoil. Felt recoil is sometimes drastically different, and is affected by the above three variables plus others. And, felt recoil is what actually matters, not what the calculator says it is.

Not arguing with your statement, just pointing out that it's very hard to have two different gauge guns that have all the other factors identical.
