What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ GAMING ][ NOUN ]
The skill of counteracting a weapon's upward and sideways kick during sustained automatic fire, usually by pulling the aim down and against the pattern, to keep shots landing on target instead of climbing off it.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Spent an hour in the practice range just working on my recoil control for this gun."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named directly and functionally by the shooter game community for this mechanical skill, treated as a foundational, practiceable technique distinct from raw aim accuracy.
