They're not side by side, the tubes you are seeing are stacked on top of each other. Kind of like an AK-47s gas collection tube. They work something like that, would be my guess. Or they have bolt springs in them, or something.

Optical illusion  :)

Ahhh... that makes much more sense.  Thanks.

3 tailguns would be a lot of fun tho :(

how about the 37mm cannon instead of the 23mm cannon? ehh

Fixed : thanks subway

I would still use the 23mm, i have no problem killing tanks with it. The 37mm is probably going to be less accurate.

lower velocity, lower accuracy, lower rate of fire, and not as good to kill fighters.

The NS37 actually has MORE power (Joules) per round that hits than the BK3.7 does.

Consider that ;)

But BKs penetrates harder and deeper.

Yes, I know, but the raw joules per hit is higher. I guess that means things like flak turrets, aircraft, bombers, trains, etc, where armor penetration don't count, will be easier to kill.


EDIT: I wonder if you could kill a hangar with it?  :noid

Only reason they do is because they are also smaller and quicker.  :noid
