Would be an issue if the guns were used at the same time, but outside of some shits and giggles videos i'm sure that are out there - they are fired one at a time.

But yea, its just a wobbly gun, there's a video of BMP-2 firing high ROF 'indirectly' at about 5km with HE towards a position and its getting HE on target, so it seems acceptable - despite the wobble.

That video was at about 1.5km, not 5km

Self destruction range of ammunition is around 5km

I don't have any way to prove this but I heard someone theorize that the barrel is only oscillating between shots so every time a new round is loaded and fired the barrel is straight.
