The Recoil Pad is a weapon part that fits onto the stock of a rifle or a shotgun. It reduces recoil and shortens the delay before the next shot. It weighs only 0.1, so fitting it adds almost nothing to the gun.
The pad suits a long gun that fires often, where a faster follow-up shot matters. A screwdriver fits it onto any compatible firearm. It is found in gun caches and shotgun caches, and now and then in rifle cases. The Police Officer is the best occupation for weapon parts. It starts with the most Aiming skill. The Veteran also starts with some Aiming skill.
Uses
Once fitted, the Recoil Pad cuts the recoil delay of the firearm by 2. That lets the next shot come a little sooner. The part fits the M1A Rifle, the MSR788 Rifle, the MSR700 Rifle, the MSR7T Tactical Rifle and the L94 Rifle. It also fits the JS-2000 Shotgun and the Double Barrel Shotgun. A screwdriver is needed to attach it through the firearm's Upgrade option.
Locations
The Recoil Pad is an uncommon find tied to gun stashes. Shotgun caches give the best odds, in the shotgun box, on the counter, in the plank stash and in duffel bags. Gun caches hold one in the gun box and in duffel bags at a lower rate. Rifle cases found inside bags hold one only rarely.

Notes
- The pad is light enough to fit on any compatible gun without a weight concern.
- Shotgun caches are the best place to look for one.
- Keep a screwdriver in the bag, since the part goes on only with one.
