No, not recoil less. Wouldn't need that muzzle brake. Kinda looks more like a Boys Anti-Tank Rifle from early WWII https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_anti-tank_rifle
Given the weight and recoil of those, it would be a strong (heh) argument in favor of superstrength.
katsmeat:
If the round that hit Alice could knock her off her feet, then it's a given the recoil from the weapon firing it would knock gun-lady off her feet - conservation of momentum, I'm thinking. Super strength wouldn't help her. Sure, she would be firmly holding the weapon , but super strength would not stop her flying backwards. She would only be able to stand there if (a) she weighted about 500kg or (b) her boots attach to the floor with some kind of hyper velcro.
If it is a Boys Anti Tank rifle, she must have been doing something quite funky with the cartridges. I assume the British would not have dropped them in World War 2 for being generally crap and useless (so says Wikipedia) if the rounds carried that kind of energy. Even Tiger tanks would've been quickly looking like 60-ton colanders if shot at with one of those.
Method of Madness:
It's clearly an explosive round, isn't the blast what's knocking Alice back?

You're completely right, of course. It's currently 2.53am where I am and it's been a long day. I'll blame that.

I am seriously beginning to get pissed off with Malice at this stage.
