	BMP-2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (Russia)
		The 680 was a testbed to examine the possibilities of introducing a lower profile, but wider two-man turret, installing the new Shipunov 2A42 30mm autocannon and a 7.62mm PKT machine gun barbette in place of the former squad commander position (who would move up into the turret).
		Obiekt 769 - lengthened hull / 30mm 2A42 autocannon
		The 30mm 2A42 cannon is stabilised and has an elevation of + 75 degrees.

	Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its current manufacturer is the Russian company Izhmash JSC.
		Originally based on the 2A42 cannon for infantry fighting vehicle use, the GSh-30-1 is a single-barreled, gas-operated cannon weighing 46 kg (101.4 lb).
		Unlike many postwar cannon, it is linear action, not a revolver cannon or Gatling gun, with the Russians feeling that the reduction in rate of fire is compensated by reduced mass and bulk.

		This is a 30 mm (1.18 in), single-barrel, dual-feed cannon designed for use on light armored vehicles such as the BMP-2.
		This is a derivative of the 2A42 for use on the new generation of Soviet (now Russian) attack helicopters such as the Ka-50
		It is assumed that this variant retains the dual-feed mechanism of the 2A42, allowing it to carry magazines for both AP-T and HE-I rounds.

	Military-industrial complex of Tula region
		Shipunov is at the head of KBP Instrument Design Bureau.
		The basis of these developments is formed by novel ideas and schematic/design approaches put forward by A.G. Shipunov first ever in home and world practice.
		Original schematic/design solutions, high scientific-technical potential and a team of specialists able to work efficiently made it possible to develop weapon systems having no counterparts not only in the country but also in the world.

	From 25mm to 30mm
		This round was introduced in the late 1970s and is used in the 2A42 cannon fixed to the BMP-2 and in movable mounts on Ka-50 and Mi-8 helicopters with double ammunition supply and a selective fire rate of 200 and 600rpm.
		The 2A42 is a gas/recoil operated cannon weighting 115kg and measuring 3030mm in length.
		HEI shells for the aircraft cannons use the shorter AG-30 nose fuze, all ammuniton types for the aircraft cannons have a shorter overall length, not to mix them up with the 2A42 types ammo which is not interchangable.

	Ka-50 Story: CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
		The process of development of the helicopter design was closely correlated with the selection of the most efficient cannon and adoption of the appropriate technological solution for its mount installation on board the helicopter.
		Eventually, a decision was made to install it in the mass centre sector starboard between the gearbox support spars which is the most rigid and strongest place in the fuselage.
		The limitations imposed on the cannon azimuth deflection angle by such an arrangement were counterbalanced by the coaxial-rotor helicopter's ability to perform turns with the angular speed matching that of the mount turning speed of other cannon systems.

		originally developed for ground fighting vehicle applications and characterized by selective supply and 200 to 600 rounds per minute firing rate (2A42), is recommended for use in movable mounts on board gunship helicopters.
		Ground targets can be attacked effectively by high-rate-of-fire 23mm guns GSh-6-23 installed in movable mounts (built-in and external) of attack aircraft.
		The system comprises series-produced Gryazev and Shipunov guns currently in service with the Armed Forces and available in three versions (single-barrel, twin-barrel and multiple-barrel).

		The powerful 30 mm gun was borrowed from the Army ^_ and in terms of ammunition fully standardized with the one used in the BMP-2 mechanized infantry vehicle.
		The 2A42 gun has a selectable rate of fire and permits selective ammunition supply from two boxes loaded with armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds.
		Various Ka-50 armament versions have been proposed to better adapt the craft to the existing fleet of army combat helicopters and enable firing against different targets.
