The weight does.
Weight is what affects recoil. Cut the barrel, reduce the weight, recoil will increase if all else is equal.
Almost all- but the amount of recoil varies a lot. A .22 rifle has almost no recoil, a 12 gauge shotgun a lot.
A Winchester Model 37 410 gauge shotgun is well suited for new shooters and for hunting small game animals. It's small gauge offers light recoil and quick follow-up shots.
A pump will have more recoil. The action of a semi-auto will absorb some of the recoil.
Similar to modern day shotgun
Generally, a gunsmith will fit a recoil pad to the shotgun using an oversized, standard pad. Not too difficult.
It is a shell for a shotgun that has less power than a standard shotshell, and produces less recoil, or "kick".
Recoil reduction.
It depends on the comparative charges of the ammunition. A rifle can have more recoil than a shotgun.
Depends on the load.
Recoil of a firearm is based on how heavy and fast is the bullet, and how much does the firearm weigh. Change any one of the 3, and recoil will change. The AVERAGE .270 Winchester (16.5 lbs recoil) will have less recoil than a 30-06 (17.6 lbs recoil) but more than a .308 Winchester ( 15.8 lbs recoil). How recoil FEELS can be affected by several things, including shape of the stock, recoil control devices (such as pads) which spread recoil over time, etc. Good article for some more reading for you-http:/wwwzperiodzchuckhawkszperiodzcom/recoil_tablezperiodzhtm
