While Symthic and I were having a discussion today, we were looking over the foregrip files for various weapons and made a discovery that I haven't seen posted here yet.
All LMG Foregrips, unlike those for ARs/Carbines, not only reduce RecoilAngle (Horizontal Recoil) by .5, but also impose a RecoilMagnitute modifier of .67, which we see from the silence relates to vertical recoil. I'm not sure if they stack, are multiplicative, or what, but thought I would share.
Also, the effect seems to also be prominent on weapons like the SVD / MK11, with the foregrip imposing the following modifiers:
RecoilMagnitudeMod 0.850000023842 RecoilAngleMod 0.340000003576
Another note is that while looking at the foregrips for the B2K weapons (ARs included), they were decreasing both horizontal and vertical recoil by 25%, rather than just decreasing horizontal by 50%.
You are my bro, bro.

Kinda interesting. I'd much rather have 50% horizontal reduction than 25% both though.

Nice find. The grip looks even more like the best underbarrel attachment now.

There was no reason to use anything other than a grip before this find, and now...

Makes kinda sense, seeing as how bipods are also much more effective on LMGs than on other weapons.
LMGs rock in bipod-mode, but that doesn't compensate the fact they're pretty much unusable at 20+ metres. So I guess this makes a grip the go-to attachment unless you're covering chokepoints

So foregrips reduce recoil on the non-B2K LMGs more than they do on the B2K LMGs? That sucks.

No, I should have been more descriptive in my OP. The foregrip for B2K LMG's seems to have the same modifier as they do currently.

The weapon overview for the A-91 says "The bullpup configuration prevents the A-91 from mounting a foregrip. " Yet, I see that there is a foregrip unlock at 30 kills (need 3 more).
So is this just for my unlock collection and I can't add it to the A-91? Or I can add it but it doesn't do anything? Or probably most likely, the overview is incorrect and it works just fine as it does on other weapons?

Yeah the overview is just incorrect. You can use it, and it's the only attachment in it's slot so there's no reason not to.
