Re-add Old Recoil to rust! (read the description please)

The Issue

For years now rust has been plagued with scripters and cheaters that have been abusing the new easy recoil to kill others in the game. The new recoil doesn't help because everyone and their uncle can shoot the guns easy and the state of the game is too easy for people. On top of this a lot of old rust people have left that really helped shape this game to what it is now. With this petition I'm hoping to get Facepunch to either make the guns FAR harder to shoot or to get Facepunch to re-add the old recoil back to the game either as a server option for server owners to enable (the arguably better method) or to completely change the recoil back to the way it was before.
