Is it the rearward recoil or forward slam?
it has to be the rearward slam being going forward stripping a round from the mag slows it down absorbs the shock
I believe it’s the forward, similar to a spring air rifle. Scopes aren’t really constructed to resist forward ‘recoil’, so a scope that does just fine in a big kicking centerfield can be torn up by a springer of a mini with the forward recoil.
