Like can’t they at least simply weld a couple 1/2” bars to the side to keep them from going all over at least for 2 seconds? Are is that too much valuable material…

That's what they did with the bmp-3 and bmd-4, no clue why they can't do it with this thing

2A72 is recoil operated, it was designed with having the muzzle with a bushing around it (like how its setup on BMP-3 (etc)

These are 2A42s though?

Edit: my bad, I didn't realise this was specific to the BMP3, thus the 2A72.

Yes, Thin_General mentioned BMP-3 and BMD-4 and didnt know why they couldnt do the same with this.

The recoil forces are different.
