  I think so. Which is more realistic of course. But also a weird way to out “random recoil”.

  Well, procedural when applied to generation of scenery/galaxies etc means to create the exact same thing using random values that are the same random for everyone. It just saves on storage.

  But, I cannot tell you how this would apply to recoil. It would only make sense if there were an absolutely huge number of possible weapons.

  Nah, cause it could be a procedure like

  1. x is between 1 and 5
  2. recoil = Rightx + Up4x
