The RT-20 uses a gas-venting recoil mitigation system consisting of gas ports drilled in the barrel that feed into a tube redirecting gas backwards, which both reduces muzzle velocity and creates a forward-pushing jet effect via Newtonian physics to counteract recoil.

“put gas ports in the barrel here, and then build this tube that redirects gas backwards out the back end of the gun... reducing the muzzle velocity... if you are pushing a bunch of gas back that way, the gun is going to be pushed forwards.”
