It worked. How free is the movement on those autocannon--
do they tend to flop around, or are they pretty stable in

Too bad LEGO doesn’t make pieces that are more suited to making things like
this CITV sight for the M1A2 Abrams tank:

I don’t know, you might be able to do something with the
Technic Driving Ring Extension...in dark grey on the newer
Slave 1. But it would be pretty small compared to a minifig.
Rotating masts are always a bit of a problem...

In fact, I figure that the “bar” is where the bulk of the electronic
equipment (radar, comm, jammers, etc.) is housed. So it indeed has a role in
aiming the guns.

All autocannon must have localized sights, so I assumed
the real thing would have a binocular effect. It does
ooze “tankiness” and stability.
The construction is a real inspiration, as always.
