*In some sources the M99 is referred to as "recoilless" but it is not clear whether it is technically a "recoilless" weapon or if this is a mistaken designation. If it is "recoilless" the manner by which it counteracts recoil is not known, as modern day "recoilless rifles" either eject propellant gas or a "countershot" of material with equal mass as the projectile, but no source has ever mentioned either of these recoil countering mechanisms on the M99. If the M99 is "recoilless" it may be that it has some as-of-yet theoretical way to reduce recoil, perhaps involving magnetic fields. | *In some sources the M99 is referred to as "recoilless" but it is not clear whether it is technically a "recoilless" weapon or if this is a mistaken designation.
