600RPM “burst” what’s that all about?

probs an AA mode employing AHEAD rounds. Theyre typically seen shot in short high ROF bursts in footage.

So, not sustained?

not according to this document, though I have previously seen claims it could.

I’d make sure it’s an actual option for full automatic fire.

@MythicPi the puma fire rate is limited and correctly stated in the game.
The Puma has the gun specialy build in with a special catch mechanic to further increase the accuracy. It cant change between fire modes

Not to mention the smoke is nigh blinding

What smoke?

What’s the purpose of the massive milled muzzle brake and redirector.

guess it depends on the enviromentals. but vast majority of bmp2 footage ive seen from ukraine has intense smoke whenever they fire, also that video doesnt work for me

Probably dust, not smoke, either way, the video had snow on the ground.

deffo not. its most definetly smoke. its likely the propellant. bunch of really old ammo used by both sides, i cant post them here but if you look up ukraine war bmp 2 footage you will definetly see what i mean

Also could be a lot of moisture buildup, you have to remember there is more moisture to boil with the heat in spring and summer than winter and fall.

likely to be part of the reason, but that would still be a result of the gun being gas operated
