Overall, an excellent motion capture of the firing of a semi-auto rifle. My only question is, and this may be unfamiliarity with the power of the round being fired, but why does only his upper torso recieve the kick?

Thank you for the compliments.
It was actually supposed to be a full-auto animation, but the program I was using at the time I animated this didn't allow for the proper timing to make it look like Cody there was firing the rifle in a fully-automatic sort of way. Something I intend to remedy that with my next batch I'm (slowly) working on.
Uhm, lessee to answer your question: The round being fired doesn't have much recoil, though I will admit that I could have done a better job with showing that the rifle actually has much more of a kick than that.
I think with the next version of this particular animation, I'm going to try to put in a little more dramatic recoil action, and some muzzle climb to simulate the power of the recoil. I also intend to do a similar thing with the M-45, AR-52 and shotgun animations, along with several other weapons I've been dinking around with in my spare time(when the mood to animate strikes).
