Railguns are not recoiless...

Apparently, the common misconception that railguns, being magnetic, are recoiless has somehow made its way into Halo. I'm reffering to the "Asymmetric 'Recoiless' Carbine-920". It's impossible to make a railgun recoiless; that is unless the rails shoot off behind you when fired. Fortunately, in game, the weapon seems to have enormous recoil, as it should. So now we have a laser with recoil, when it should have none (it's laser light) and a railgun labeled as recoilless -- great. Before someone points it out, I want to make it clear that I'm aware that this is science fiction. However, the more silly mistakes like this add up, the harder it is to suspend disbalief. After all, this is like calling a rifle a shotgun...
