I understand but here it is simple waste.What is the point to stabilize machine gun on small boat?It is not stable platform number one...nuber two from where you.will control it ..you are literary sitting or standing next to it?..and when you finnaly make boat capable to carry 3 people instead of 6...what did you gain? It is small patrol boat that can only operate close to shore,will never be used in any role where you will use RWS...Putting RWS on jeep has sense for rapid deployement...you can leave it at position and control it from distance...but on small boat it is total waste...to use it ,you must park it or lower speed since these boats jumps half a meter when goes even at medium speed...to be able use it at some speed you need gyro-stabilizator but you can't put gyro-stabilizator under soldier ***......it is easier to operate machine gun manually than with joystick while boat jumps...so it has no sense...to put RWS at anything that size....maybe to look cool . Also you must have manualy operated guns on boats,it is something will never been completly replaced....now.I,m sure if you try hard you will find use case for RWS on small boat but you can ask anyone who ever served in military it will tell you the same...small calibre RWS is useless on sea ...there is no infantry there and weapons of that size and caliber is used against infrantry(ior f you read description of company that produce it..you'll probably fimd "live force" ,maybe in english there is better term..).Now,maybe RWS with machine gun caliber 12+mm could have some AA role or vs other small vessel but again,these boats don't go far...so..that's not the whole point of rws , RWS help you stabilize gun on target ,look at what happen when you fire from a stable target with M242 Bushmaster you become the laughing stock of all navy
now when they use another gun
by the way do you like to be the guy who is supposed to walk to back of the boat when it is at full speed and operate the gun
