ZSU-23-4 Shilka Question

[ingsoc75]

I'm trying to find out if it's quad automatic AA AZP-23 gun barrels recoil while firing. From the few closeup videos I have seen, it does not seem to.

However on the World in Conflict trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU10b8C9orc&feature=related they seem to recoil (1:01 in the video).

But this is a computer game and any recoil may be exaggerated perhaps?

Any insight?

Regards

No recoil in this vid.

No they don't recoil, but they are water cooled.

Also near the start where that Hind is firing at the cop car... from that distance firing 5,000 rounds per minute with a 50 calibre gatling gun that cop car would have been shredded in one burst. That gun is designed to engage targets accurately out to about 1.4km or so... at the range shown it would have reduced the car to a sieve.

Not to mention that chipper the Shilka attacked would have gone down in one burst, not sustained fire.
