Was this designed by Russia's finest minds? I like the part where the gun is seemingly intentionally cantilevered out from the rotational pivot point by like a foot in order to make this kind of recoil inevitable. That sort of attention to detail must have been intended to make the gun incredibly accurate and a true joy to shoot. It's also impressive how long it continues firing after the operator becomes airborne and seems to even continue for a few frames after he has been flung into the bushes, knowing the poor trigger discipline of the average Russian conscript this is probably also intentional and seems like a reasonable design compromise.
We are very lucky they are so fucking stupid.
