High subsonic missiles fly at approximately 300 m/sn so superrapid fires 2 ammo per second its not logical to me but 40/70 mm double barrel makes 10 ammo per second,more logic.We made 40mm but nobody cares it,what a pity.

For some reason, I really doubt it. Really hope the gun is not what delays the deliveries in the future, huge possible bottleneck.It is another question if MKE can manage the supply chain and catch up with the building schedule of 7 I-Class and 8 ADKG, and future planned 7 TTHB until 2030, plus the exports.

To add, we don't know if the navy is interested in the 76mm gun for CIWS duty, just that it would be great to have it as option. But it won't be an option unless MKE builds an SR equivalent or Aselsan works on 76mm ATOM rounds.

"As you know, we are producing ATOM ammunition together with our distinguished company ASELSAN. In this context, we are developing particle and smart ammunition for 76/62mm."

This is the same MKE that boasts with delivering 7 Borans a year so I'd prefer seeing them in real life first.MKE can produce enough 76mm guns, so it is not a bottleneck. MKE heavy cannon/barrel production facility has enough capacity to build more than enough 76mm guns. The rest of the system is outsourced.
Production capacity as of 2018.
60 guns for Fırtına SPH
200 120mm mortar
1000 60&80mm mortars
250 guns for Boran Howitzer
I am also not an expert but i think periscopes are supposed to be .I don't know anything about marine systems. So I'll ask you to be tolerant with the question I'm going to ask now. Are periscopes still used in submarines?
Irrelevant. Boran is a niche product. It faced difficulties in the development phase but once it got military qualification (Land forces tested the shit out of that product) it is delivered and EXPORTED quickly. It was a difficult project for a company like MKE where every kg is important due to air-transportation and when you make it light recoil forces become a headache. There are not a lot of lightweight air-transportable howitzers around.3 years passed, where is it?

Boran is not a niche product, it's a 105mm gun built to replace hundreds of 70 year old M101 and M116s in service. If anything, 76mm gun is the niche product that will maybe see 50-60 built during its production cycle discounting spare barrels, if we're lucky.Irrelevant. Boran is a niche product.

MKE has good production capacity. 35mm gun systems were never a bottleneck for the Korkut or air defense cannon project. TSK never had a problem for M60T or T-155 guns.
Once the 76mm naval gun system gets military qualification, MKE can produce them. MKE doesn't produce the servos, cooling system etc. Those might be a bottleneck. I don't know if producer companies has enough production capacity for outsourced systems.
