These two guys are definitely having nightmares tonight.
Basically, this Russian training accident happened because someone took a rotary machine gun from a helicopter and treated it like a normal ground gun.
The YakB-12.7 was originally made for the Mi-24 attack helicopter. It has brutal recoil, and the forces it produces are nothing like a regular machine gun. On a helicopter, the airframe and mount can absorb that madness.
But once you slap it onto a simple ground setup, it suddenly develops a personality.
You think you’re controlling the gun, then it starts controlling you.

When will people learn?
We need to use a safer way to control track limits.
The halo has been one of the best safety systems to be introduced, let’s move forward with track limit policing too.
Don’t wait until someone is killed.
