Gun Damaged - Soldier - 09-24-2006

Does the message, "Gun Damaged" apply to the main gun only?
Will my remaining MG/MGs still fire normally?

I'm not sure if it's a matter of luck,or just the position of the mg,but sometimes the mg will still be able to fire even if the gun was damaged.

Thanks Guys!
I think I got the idea behind it. The gun itself it not necessarily damaged, nor destroyed. It's optical sight might be rendered useless, by a shrapnel/splinter hit. Possibly the turret rotating mechanism or turret ring itself might be damaged.
With the sights out, the co-axial MG is obviously unusable.
That leaves the bow MG though.
I suppose that one was not used for area fire!?

I've usually found that most gun hits knock out the coaxial mount as well, and usually the target command will not work. However, I think the secondary MGs, if any, will still fire defensively if the tank moves near infantry.

Can a AFV with a damaged gun, but plenty of ammo remaining, still capture a VF?
