To be fair they're not alone in this. A *lot* of people assume firearms don't need to have any real physical strength to use dependably beyond pistol ranges.

Right but they do think it matters but in the wrong direction. A rifle is harder to fire when standing and moving, yes, but Spore Zombie Stepdad by the nature of the game always has SZG hang back and act as fire support, where she can use other things to absorb recoil

Hollywood greatly exaggerates the amount of force firearms impart, like it's not actually possible for even a high power bullet to knock a human being across the room, or for that matter for a human being to be knocked across the room by recoil

I'm aware of that, but it's still gonna be pretty brutal and can easily involve you hitting yourself with the firearm if you're not braced? or grossly missing as a result of recoil in an unsafe way?

The Desert Eagle is laughably impractical, but it's a lot of fun for casual target-shooting.
