If I understand correctly, higher the recoil of a gun, more should be the recoil recovery time, since it is the time taken by the gun to come back to its original position after firing a single shot.
Then how does the Light Grip, if it increases both vertical and horizontal recoil, gives a reduced recoil recovery rate? Is there a gap in my understanding of the two terms?
One thing you can help do to compensate for bullet drop is adjust your zeroing. This down by pressing Page Up to increase it, or Page Down to decrease it by default. You can change the key mappings in the settings. Note that you can only see how far your zero distance is when you are scoped in (first person perspective).
If you are exactly 100 meters away from something, and your zeroing is set to 100m, your bullet should hit exactly where your cross hair is. If you are zeroing for 300 meters and your are exactly 300 meters away, your bullet should (again) hit exactly at the cross hair. If you don't want to use zeroing, you'll have to aim above the target you are trying to hit to compensate for drop. Both methods will likely result in trial and error, unless you are very good at estimating distance. On the flip side, if you are using zeroing, and you are compensating for too long of a distance (say 500 meters but your target is really at like 450 meters), you'll have to aim slightly below them instead.
You really just have to get a feel for the bullet drop in the game. I think you can setup a custom match where you could at least practice. As far I'm aware, judgement is the only way to figure out how far you are from a target.
I think it means how many times you downed someone but not finished. Well, check the images below out.
As you can see, I played 1 man squad, and now, the final proof [picture below], I actually downed 1 guy but not finished, downed another and he died to playzone. I killed his mate and the other one standing from another team. Got 2 DBNOs. To the ones still wondering/with doubt, how would I get downed but not finished playing solo? 2 DBNOs by the way.
So it must only means how many times you downed someone but not finished.

Recoil determines the amount of kick your crosshairs move by with each shot. Thus, if you have more vertical than horizontal recoil, this means when you fire one shot your crosshair will gain more vertical distance than horizontal.
Recoil recovery rate is how fast the gun settles to perfect accuracy after you fire a shot. If you tap fire shots, and manually wait for the recoil to settle off, you'll retain near-perfect accuracy. If you hold down fire, generally the recoil distance will outpace the recoil recovery rate, causing your aim to kick upwards.
Think of your aim as a diamond centered around your crosshair. Each weapon has a different sized diamond based on the recoil and type of weapon -- smgs and assault rifles with higher rates of fire will have a larger initial diamond. When you fire a weapon, your shot will always be fired at somewhere in this diamond. However, each shot you take will expand the diamond further, both horizontally and vertically, based on the recoil of the weapon. The time it takes for the diamond to reset back into its starting shape is the the recoil recovery rate.
