well if there's a video of it it must be totally in context and true. Remember, even ARMA III screen grabs get published as real war video if it means 1 more day of propaganda.

American specialists did not expect that the M777 gun would not last. Due to its intensive use, the cannon either get damaged or “blooms” [it explodes and the front part looks like a blooming flower].
I'm trying to find an image but Looney Tunes have been made woke / revised. An image of Elmer Fudd's gun exploding when a carrot gets jammed in the end.

Of course, I know Russian weaponry is failing from intensive use too. But it seems to me NATO has a catalogue of modern high tech weaponry that literally hasn't been battle-tested. Combat effectiveness may be as laughable as Russians deploying Soviet-era equipment. Which is good because a broken gun means less death.
