The Saiga 12 has massive recoil.

You could argue that in terms of a side by side comparison to the AA12 or the USAS12. But for just about any other 12 gauge comparison, it isn't a fair or realistic viewpoint. Even with full power loads and no muzzle brake, they recoil like kittens compared to pumps, and still less than most semi autos I've fired. If you put a brake on them, even high brass loads feel insignificant.
