Depends who is firing the thing.

I wish they could develop a blank with recoil or some type of system to include recoil so guns would look more realistic in movies. Even if the actors could learn to fake it, that'd work.

Actors faking recoil (limp wrist) is not a good thing as they absorb some of the pressure which could cause the gun to jam, also actors can't count, so they fake a recoil and "click" that looks bad.
I took a ballistic course in the army and if I remember correctly, recoil is caused by the projectile leaving the muzzle, that would be stage 15, stage 1 is primer igniting.
