Comparing the stability of the Russian BMPT “Terminator” dual 30 mm 2A42 cannons (from the new Russian promo video) and the Bradley’s 25 mm M242 Bushmaster cannon. pic.twitter.com/ij0tgXglnV

This is not a good nor fair comparison. The Russian 30mm dual cannon is intended for an entirely different use than the 25mm M242 Bushmaster. The “Terminator” is built mostly for suppressive and area effect fire and generally would send a whole lot of HE-FRAG downrange. The M242, though, is for more constrained fire and is not really intended primarily to be a suppressive or area effect weapon.

In other words, the “Terminator” barrels are supposed to move around like that during operation. This is how the ammo gets spread around when it reaches its target distance. Let’s not allow our hatred of Russia and its actions get in the way of the truth. “Terminator” == working exactly as intended.
