SR3 (2?)'s Articulated Mounts could do that, although they also served as a firing platform. Personally, I'd be all for letting the gyromount double as a storage system.

I think Tribes said your weapons were stabilized and held onto this way (explaining how you can carry 5 weapons around and swap between them in about 2 seconds while flying).

Squinky. Without a gyro harness if your firing long bursts (as the example called for) you cant get full recoil compensation without a gyro harness or cyber arm gyro mounts. Thus your less likely to hit with the second burst.

The gyroscopes are going to exert force in a direction that counteracts the recoil impulse being applied by the firearm.

Yeah, I understand that, but it isn't a force that I believe would result in arm breakage. The counteracting force of a gyro resisting an angle change is going to be approximately equal to the force that is causing the angle change (ever so slightly lessened due to the time difference as the force is moved from one side of the gyro to the other).

Because it's very, very close to equal, the net difference in force between one end of the gyro and the other is not going to be large enough to cause arm breakage.

Given the physics of how a gyro works, it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Now, something that *would* make sense to me is if you try to suddenly and quickly move your body on a plane that the gyro resists. It ain't the recoil that f*cks up your day, it's the fact that the gyro just won't f*cking move along that plane, but the rest of your body is.

This, by the way, is how you can get a semi-automatic's rate of fire for a Ruger Super Warhawk revolver.

...this is exactly why KK does it with her WHs.

That's a more likely scenario, yes.
