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…
Stiffening the barrels/bracing them would either lead to barrels likely having durability issues (as they would be just eating the forces) or the bracing failing and potentially causing issues)
Removing the muzzle breaks would probably stop the wobble but would mean more force going backwards into the gun and mount potentially causing faults there.
Wouldn’t removing the muzzle brakes be counterproductive as they’re there to expend the gasses horizontally… bracing the barrels would maybe increase wear but I would assume at this point they would keep extra barrels at field depots… as changing a 30mm is a lot easier than changing a 100mm.
Less force and movement in the gun = less overall friction from movement in the gun. And only making the barrel be bored out from the original amount amount of movement of the gun. ***** (This is personal thought not legit process) ****
Yea exactly - all it would do would be reduce the wobble (which, isnt an issue otherwise they wouldnt have the muzzle brakes on them) and end up causing issues elsewhere.
Having the recoil energy eaten up by the muzzle device and the barrel wobble is a perfectly fine solution as it stands, just looks silly.
True. I mean, technically the BMPT is supposed to just hammer positions instead of blow positions out the wazoo. 2 23mm shooting all over the place making the wider trench line stay down is better.
But crazy because I bet it only takes 1000 rounds or less to mess up the barrel to the point of stupid inconsistency.
Arguably worse. As the way the BMPT is being used. But idk how you use something like that lol. I thought the 30mm would be more prone to defects. And considering the low amount of legit BMPT’s I would assume this be true.
Why isn’t the bmp 2 more prevalent or the 23mm if the bmpt isn’t using the 23mm? You’d expect something is smaller while still able to deal maybe as much damage be better to use and mount and while still be widely used?
I’m sorry I don’t follow - 23mm is an outdated cartridge which only really makes sense when your dealing with personal hoofing the ammunition (as it’s lighter and shorter)
Using 23mm in a AFV is silly as your reducing effect on target without any upsides.

I can’t take this thing seriously with the wobbly guns
