Insignificant when thinking of an MG from a tank, but maybe relevant when thinking of something like a GAU-8 on an A-10. (As an example). {F22713}

Dispersion doesn't increase on guns just because they are moving, the mechanisms remain the same, you just get less operator accuracy.

This is not about dispersion, the issue is about bullets fired from moving vehicle mounted weapons inheriting the velocity of the vehicle.

Actually, having just done some testing firing from the door gunner of a chopper, bullets do inherit the velocity of the aircraft.

3 rounds were fired from a chopper moving from right to left of picture (perpendicular to runway) at about 250km/h. Aimpoint was the right edge of runway (appears vertical, centre of image)

My bad. I updated to ticket to the opposite of the issue which deals with for every reaction there will be an equal and opposite reaction.

Honestly, what's the point?
The GAU-8 doesn't do anything noticeable to the velocity of an A-10.

This is not WW2. Tanks will not be slowed down by firing their cannons. Neither will the aircraft.
