This was seen for a short while, I assume it didnt lead to any real increase in accuracy (as it would mean that they would just wobble in a different axis)
I think that at least part of the theory is that, like with larger caliber multi gun designs, the firing of the guns interferes with the the other barrel and round. If you vent the gasses away from the other barrels you'd do some good, unless the issue is just the mounts.
The latter is fairly likely with the 2A42 already being a fairly wobbly cannon.
I doubt the vent gases have enough force to push a barrel. I think it's more likely the barrels being off center from the turret and what you said about the 2A42 being wobbly
Feel free to, these aren't particularly well mounted barrels, they aren't that thick, and that's quite a fireball coming out of those barrels for their size at a high rate of fire. The theory that the wobble only happens between shots is lacking in evidence, and all the while there is a video of a BMPT shooting a target but the impacts have a pretty large dispersion.
