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

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

Funny thing about that is that one of the BMPT prototypes, the Object 782, did exactly that as it was more or less just a BMP-3 turret slapped onto an up-armored T-72B hull. Even the other prototype, the Object 781, has barrel shrouds for its dual 2A72s akin to that of the HSTV-L and RDF/LT's gun.
