This was a conclusion back in Greener's day.
The simplest calculation representing felt recoil was gun velocity. The faster the gun came back in recoil, the sooner you would feel "gun headache."
But he was careful to limit it to similar guns, game gun (12 ga shotgun in a narrow weight range and similar stock style) or service rifle, or express rifle. he did not try to compare rifle to shotgun to pistol.
