But imagine the recoil of the firing which would need a few feet of recoil back into the turret, that's going to make it very difficult

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

So should I make it a bit longer then?

No, just makes folding extremely difficult

If you're shooting guided shells you shouldn't even bother with a turret!

...wut?

What I really want to know is how you've managed to avoid breaking SpringSharp with this thing.

Also thank you for introducing me to the OSV-96 which is quite possibly the stupidest real-life weapon I've ever seen. I have to wonder why the Russians didn't just copy the GM-6, which is not only a bullpup weapon (which makes it shorter right off the bat) but you just lock the barrel into full-recoil position for easy transport, making it maybe half the length of the OSV-96 when it's "folded".

What IS that?!

You can't compare small arms and naval artillery. The forces, masses and pressures involved are so much greater that most of the construction methods used on small-arms simply don't work. In this case it's going to be impossible to get a tight seal between the barrel and the breach. Constructing a mechanism capable of folding the barrel is a major technical challenge in itself. And even then it's going to take a long time to fold and unfold. I wouldn't be surprised if either action takes an hour or more.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

There is a significant difference between small arms and naval guns. That is about the same as comparing a fircracker to a 500Kg bomb.
And you already have "expanded the hull". You seem to think that taking a Zumwalt and making it 200+ meters long will yield identical results. No. That doesn't work.

This design is fundamentally unworkable. You say you ran it through springsharp and that it is "floatable". So? Driftwood is floatable, but that doesn't make it a warship.

Again comparing small arms to naval guns! I already told you it doesn't work!

I understand that you're 15 and by definition stupid, but come on.
