The Ares Alpha (CC pg. 22) has 2 points of recoil comp due to a "special chamber design." It also says that it can accomodate barrel-mounted accessories.

Does this mean that additional recoil compensation mods can be added?

Yes it does. Which means that you can get a total of 8 points worth of recoil mods on the thing.

That's what I love about this boards - virtually instantaneous answers. It's almost as if everyone was jacked in...scary. :cyber:

Yeah, we've mastered Time Travel, at least in increments of less than 10 minutes in an online setting.

I always thought that it was the 2 points of recoil reduction that you can add to a gun's design under the Cannon Companion's firearms design rules. The Ares Alpha is simply a gun that is the example of that design option.

As i recall the Ares Alpha was out before the gun making rules. I think it is like from a long time ago.

Yup, you're right. "Fields of Fire", in fact. However, the Cannon Companion gun design rules do incorporate that integral RC reduction without taking a barrel mount. Are there any other guns that are similar in this regard?

It means that the chamber is designed in a way to minimize the kick back of the gas expansion, to the point where you get 2 points of recoil comp.

Yeah...or it's magic!

8? I count 6 at best (2 integral + Gas Vent IV). Is there something I'm missing?

Yeah, I think he understands that. That is unfortunately about as good an explanation as "dikoting is sharp so it increases damage."
