Barrels that are too heavy mess with how the action cycles. The early .30 Luger Carbines, of course , had a helper spring in the fore stock to help return the gun to battery, and the barrel and extension moved independently of the furniture.
This one makes me wonder whether the shooter needs to pump the fore stock like a shotgun...y'know, to help get that big pipe back into battery.
