How much gas return system cuts down recoil?

Army shooters are still trained to use ammunition with as much accuracy as possible. However in the middle of a firefight there's not a lot of time for hold, aim squeeze. The idea of supressing fire is to generate confidence on the part of the soldier doing the shooting and to demoralise the opposition. I WW11 it took something like 10,000 round on average to produce one KIA. Accuracy and belt fed weapons are seldom mutually compatible, in fact the Bren gun of WW11 was considered TOO accurate. One the ground back in SE Asia you carried all your ammo for maybe a week or two of patrolling. If things got sticky you might get a resupply. So you tended not to get too extravagant on the use of ammo. 3-4 round bursts of automatic fire was the ideal as opposed to the massive expenditure of ammo you see in some war movies. The US soldiers however did like a bit of a "brass up".

Wow, really?

Might have been worth their while trying to a new tactic or two

Probably with bombs that costs 100,000 times what a bullet costs

US defence debt anyone?
