Such a cool plane.
Question: Does any other country have a similar platform?

It would surprise me if China and Russia didn't have something similar. Nothing comes close to it for ground support.

Wonder how the recoil affects flight stability. Those rounds looked mighty big.

It looks like the gun mount has some recoil absorption built into it. As heavy as a C-130 is, I doubt they even feel it other than maybe a slight vibration transmitted through the aircraft body.

They do not.
The M102 frame has built in recoil absorbtion.
