yeah and so will any gun if you aim it at your head. What's your point. That's like saying that car will run you over.

Sorry, but no. You DO have barrel movement before the bullet exits the barrel.

Simply crappy mounting.

Simply crappy knowledge. That flex is exactly why a cheap scope is destroyed by a heavy-recoiling rifle. Good scope=it lives to shoot again.

yeah I would say the mounts aren't so hot

Design flaw there. Barrels MUST flex; the trick is for them to flex consistently. But scope mounts and rings? No way! A better mounting system is needed. Note: I don't believe the scope would have flopped the way it did (across the rings) if the base hadn't snapped so far out of place. IOW, the rings/scope itself, would probably be OK if the mount were more stable. Eventually, I think that much flexing will kill the scope.

Differs. Some use 25mm some use 30 such as the Apache and Warthog airplane. Massive bullets. Look up the XM109 for Barrett it was canceled but was going to be a 1.00 CAL or 25MM gun. Twice of what this thing is.
