While it's true LMGs had initial kick, recoil isn't defined solely by the amp factor, but instead by everything related to the movement of the barrel as a result of firing; since recovery time for LMGs (and indeed, for the G3) was faster than its recoil could take effect, yes, it does have negative recoil.
