Just out of curiosity, how are these double mounts operated in combat? Do they fire both guns simulatenously – or alternatingly in order to lay down constant fire without causing overheating?

 

[BravoZulu]

They are not synchronised at all, just lay down twin streams of fire at their own rate, nothing complicated in their mounting mate. In this example they have 1000 round boxes each

Photos from Operation Twilight, 25th March 2017.

Operation Twilight was launched by the 1st Para Commando Battalion of the Bangladesh Army under the command of Major General Anwarul Momen, GOC 17th Infantry Division in Jalalabad Cantonment.

First the security forces established a three kilometre perimeter around the militant hideout. Then the operation was launched on 25th March, Saturday at 8 am.Two militants were killed in the initial attack, one of whom detonated a suicide vest. The commandos rescued 78 civilians who had been trapped in the building since Thursday. The militants had planted improvised explosive devices (IEDs) all over the building which slowed down the operation. The main gate of the building was blocked by a refrigerator with an IED booby trap attached to it. Army spokesman, Brigadier General Fakhrul Ahsan, reported that the operation took more time because of the presence of scattered IEDs in strategic points inside the building. “We used a rocket launcher to punch a hole through the wall. We used explosives but those didn’t work out. Then we used a Thai shell and successfully neutralised two militants,” Brigadier General Fakhrul said. The building had 30 apartments and 150 rooms, and the militants constantly changed their location. The Commando unit was assisted by SWAT forces, RAB units and Bangladesh police. Four militants were killed and 78 civilians were rescued.

They probably have some convergence like WW2 airplane machine guns had.
