Whats the Difference between Rodeo/Counter Balance?
I've been wondering what the difference between these two perks are. One reduces recoil, while the other increases stability. Isn't that really the same thing? Is one preferable over the other? Do they stack if you have both? is stability and recoil really two different categories? Someone shed some light please.

Counterbalance makes your recoil up and down only. Rodeo makes your shots group together more closely. Both are good, but very few actually know what Rodeo does and therefore most claim it does nothing. Most will tell you to dismantle anything with Rodeo on it; I'd strongly recommend you ignore that awful advice and try it out yourself. You can test both on a patrol by shooting walls or whatever. Counterbalance will make recoil completely vertical, whereas Rodeo will not change the direction of recoil but will make shots group together more tightly (very nice for followup headshots, especially if your first shot is a critical hit).

Stability effects the magnitude of a weapon's recoil - in other words, if you fire, how far from the original position does your reticle move? There are some perks that don't affect the magnitude of the recoil, but reduce the tendency to move in a random direction - in other words, the gun still kicks the same amount, but the direction it kicks in will be far more predictable.
