zbran - both guns, no ammo belt.\\

That goes for all LODs and View - Gunner also.

axis_RightGun_Turret - two points vertical next to each other in right doorgun.\\
chamber - left doorgun chamber position.\\
chamber_2 - right doorgun chamber position.\\
end - left doorgun tip of the barrel.\\
end_2 - right doorgun, tip of the barrel.\\
gunnerview - about left doorguns gunnerview.\\
gunnerview_2 - about right doorguns gunnerview.\\
LeftGun - 5 points of left doorgun outline. (old otochlaven).\\
LeftGun_Turret - 7 points of left doorgun outline. (old otocvez).\\
machinegun - middle of left doorgun (almost same as chamber).\\
machinegun_2 - middle of right doorgun (almost same as chamber_2).\\
RightGun - 3 points of right doorgun outline.\\
