Still not ideal environment. APS mitigates some risk but doesn't mean you should be putting yourself in that position.
I still wonder what the cans(?) or cylinders are, they seem extendable but are caged over?
Perhaps, at least one is a ventilation port of some form? After firing the main cannon there will be some backdraft of gases and particulates when expelling the shell, I guess you wouldn’t want that to build up in machinery and mechanisms.
I am wonder if they are related to the autoloader. There is no back re-fill door like type-15 for the autoloader. Thb Idk what autoloader thi one uses.
And the similar little cage can/sometime with caps maybe just a cap. Just a guess. and another cylinder maybe just the China version GPS Beidou system atena.
Depends on ground conditions. Can be almost nil on wet paved road, can be dozens of seconds.
Overall, a major reason to avoid muzzle brake.
Beidou and different bands of satcom can explain a couple of them.
Even if they are different bands, they can still be integrated onto a very small circuit board without needing to be separated.
You mean the antenna?
