Alright, well that was less of a pain in the ass than I thought it would be.
Next version of Babel will have the ability to disable screen zoom and angle/pitch change effects. For all weapons except the SMG (and chaingun but that was a bug), these effects were purely cosmetic anyway. For the SMG some extra code has been added so that the spread pattern still shifts up slightly to simulate the ~0.4 degrees of pitch change if pitching is disabled, so the weapon handles identically.
Weapon pushback (A_Recoil) isn't configurable because it's actually gameplay affecting, but if such screen effects bothered you you'll notice a big difference without them. Personally I think it makes the weapons feel less powerful but hey, it's not hurting anything.
One more webm to follow showing just how big of a difference this can make with the chaingun in particular.
