The barrel in the picture- Whether it is AM-23? Not previously seen. Cannon has found a bunch of scrap metal. There was a propane gas cut in half. There might be different guns? (google translate )

I don't know if that is AM-23 barrel, but the receiver surely is from AM-23. I imagined that this muzzle brake could be useful for bomber's turrents to prevent fuselage damage by muzzle blast, but I found no picture of Soviet bombers showing it.

This is a 23mm gun barrel.
Perhaps someone somewhere has seen this?
