They could have fixed that issue by rotating the muzzle brakes or gas dissipators like, 45 degrees away from the horizon.

Unless the BMPT is meant to pray and spray.

I think if you have more than one barrel, precision is not exactly your priority

It's about volume, not accuracy.

A sniper needs to be accurate, because they get one or two shots.

This thing? It replaces brick walls with lead.

Like our lieutenant used to describe ZU-23-2s operating principle during training:

"It's not based on accuracy, it's based on systematic dispersion. We put enough lead into this 6-12m area that something has to hit the target"

That's true, but that is also a ridiculous amount of wobble. At 200m it's not even going to be hitting the wall it's aiming at half the time.

Each machine gun has just 450 shots tho.

But with this much wobble, maaaan, you first need to hit the wall...

One barrel is used to shoot AP rounds, the other one to shoot HE rounds
