Dunno, but it may be something to do with the increased inertia of the longer
barrel - takes more explosion to get it to start rotating. You can see this in
the different recoil between pistols & rifles - even though the barrel is
off-centre from the point of rotation by about the same distance, rifles tend
to recoil almost straight back, whereas pistols rotate. Attaching something
heavy to the end of the short barrel may help, but that sorta defeats the
purpose of the small package.
