Machine gun animation ?

Hello everyone, and happy end of 2025. Question: Has anyone ever installed a servo on a machine gun to power it? I think so? Personally, despite several attempts, I've had major problems getting smooth operation. Thanks for any help.

You mean the movement of the hull MG?

Thanks to you both. Personally, my system is closer to the one in "Kaczor's" link (attached are two photos). Initially, I hadn't installed the part with the guide because I found the movement wasn't smooth. I extended the control rod after the bend to go through both parts of the collar, but it tends to come out during movement. I've also modified the servo's position, etc., but I'm still not satisfied.

Thank you also Mr. Wolf, I will study both proposals, personally it's for a JT Torro, so a machine gun already mobile, happy end of year to you friends.

It's not great, but it's just for testing!

Hello everyone, and best wishes for the new year, full of good things, and above all, good health. To get back to my problem, and after many unsuccessful , I'm wondering if the issue stems from the fact that the machine gun isn't centered on the rotating ball, as seen in the first photo?
