Flip a vehicle with a gunners position. (So far it I have seen it happen to 50cal/SPG technicals and the Abrams tank)

Hah!
That has happened to me also, never figured out why cause I tried to reproduce it alone, but was swapping between vehicles to unflip the techy.

It happened to me a few times. We rolled an SPG down the side of the hills right out of deployment on Dragonfly, Militia side ofc. After we managed to get it upright I noticed that my spg tube was literally inside the trucks cab, so out of curiosity I took a test shot to see if it was simply a visual bug. We blew up, and when the SPG respawned it was in the exact same state.

This has also happened with .50 cal techies before, but I haven't flipped any tanks lately so I cannot attest to that although I wouldn't be surprised if the barrel dropped into the hull.

The barrel does "drop" into the hull of the Abrams when flipped, only times I ever managed to flip the Abrams to test it were when I hit the fences that can be run over on Kashan (the ones at the gates to bunkers). The tank literally will fly 200m into the air and sometimes land on its top. When it happens, and if you manage to get the tank unflipped (the tricky part, only pulled it off a few times using the 50 cal mount to flip it back over) the gun protrudes from the hull and the 50 cal (the actual gun, the mount is visible) goes invisible. Never had the issue of blowing myself up though once the vehicle is glitched, tested it with the SPG techy on basrah and the SPG still fired from the normal spot, so the sight was completely off of course. Usually for me I do not see it on respawned vehicles, destroying the vehicle will remove the bug for those people who were actually in the vehicle when it happened. As mentioned before, if you weren't in the vehicle when it flipped you don't see the bug, which will garner you a few cross-eyed looks when you start talking about how your gun is coming out of the tracks of your tank :D .
