MODERATORS
Sure, but my point was just that this shouldn't really be any worse than the vast majority of modern assault rifles, which have similar barrel lengths (in fact, the new QBZ-191 rifle that's replacing the 95 has exactly a 14.5″ barrel in its standard configuration). If you're shooting with the muzzle close to a wall (or a bench as in your example) it's not going to be nice, but you'll have the same problem with most other modern rifles.
It's still going to be noticeably worse because the blast is physically closer to your body
