accuracy of weapons question

[SuperBeast]

I recently watched a video of this game a couple days ago and it dawned on me that one of the scenes the guy was holding down the trigger (due to the rate if fire) while shooting. And there was no kick or "spray" of the bullets, it was seriously a stream of bullets onto a giant hellbugs glowing button. And he was atleast 100m from the target so is this strictly a MMO with guns or is it a shooter MMO? The only time he ever stopped shooting was to reload. Did I miss something or am I over thinking this? If I find the video I saw I will edit this post.

***EDIT***

I found the video. I do not want to violate any rules of posting links but here's the youtube link.

my concerns are at timings: 3:45 , 4:56 , 5:20 , 5:30 , 5:45

those are just examples i've found in this video. Multiple types of weapons are used so power of the weapon isn't the answer to less recoil, especially at 5:30 where its full auto in a zoomed-in sniper. I would just like help explaining the recoil to me. Thank you!

Found the perfect example for this thread. At 3:57:00

See how the pistol has a recoil but the reticule doesn't? is that for all weapons? I hope this isn't a point and shoot game =/ later in the video you see he isn't that far ahead so upgrades and mods are to a minimum so please keep that in mind while answering.

It's a Third Person Shooter MMO
Shooter 1st, MMO 2nd.

Its a Shooter first, MMO second. But i dont really understand what you trying to say. I might need to see the video myself.

I have seen a few weapons used in videos and there is a difference based on the type of weapon. Some have less recoil, some have more. The ones with less recoil have less damage as is pretty standard in all shooters.

I think the point is recoil. I guess its just the Beta, usually in betas they take away recoil. i.e BF3 Crysis3.
Recoil would then be added later on upon release

maybe the power on the weapon was low ... so having low recoil and high rate of fire is normal =)

Minimized maybe but not gone.. watched a video of someone with a rapid fire assault rifle it was definitely less accurate at long range as it sprayed all over the place. Tapping the trigger helped a little but it still wasn't all that good. But maybe that was just base accuracy and not recoil... seemed like it was though.

True true minimized, just wait till the LMGs come xD
