      Look how new and shiny that thing is, with what looks like a screen on it! This has to be a visit from the good idea faerie that russia is just to corrupt to stop. You have to imagine at some point someone building this thing knew this would happen, but did not say a damned thing.

        Yeah, I can’t believe that nobody once thought to do a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation for the torque generated by recoil. There was enough to fling a grown man through the air.

      Yeah, looks like they mounted the center of mass over the pintle, which makes sense from an engineering perspective, for anything that doesn’t have massive recoil!
