Yes the repetitive firing action would have that effect. burrly forearms would resolve this. My guess is that you have some guns but not burrly ones.

Had a sear break once while qualifying with a Standard Issue .45, third round out of a full clip, next 4 rounds were absolutely amazing (lots & lots of muzzle lift, too), then the last round jammed - sure got the attention of everybody on the firing line; not something I'd wanna do again, though. Pretty well trashed the piece's action as well - glad I didn't hafta pay for it.
