Why do some tanks and guns have a barrel diameter thickening from 30 on the barrel approximately in the middle of the barrel? and got a better answer

I don't know for sure, maybe there's gas gathering there? Or the barrel springs a little when fired, like on cannons on ships? I wondered about that myself when I was a kid, but I never found out. If you know, tell me!

It's a gas compensator.

I don't know exactly. But what if the gas really decides to burst vertically, the space is closed, and the resistance is really big in a certain area.

It's such a muzzle brake. So that the recoil of the shot was minimal. The gun is pole mounted. High rate of fire, no recoil.

If the enemy hits the barrel, not the whole barrel falls off, but only up to the thickening, it will be harder to shoot, but you can still fight.

Do you know? and you ask? I do not know, but here are my guesses I was also once interested in it, but the answer obviously did not find 1. design feature of the gun, related to the work on its installation in the tank turret 2. in the area of the thickening is something grooves, for example, related to the possibility of firing missiles To compensate for the strength of the barrel and was made this thickening 3. something = something with the distribution of heat in the barrel to compensate for deformation from heating 4. something to do with the mechanism of gas selection. but what and how - do not know. gas dynamics - pass I hope you send the right answer:

This is the ejector. Part of the powder gases accumulates in it after the shot, they rush to the muzzle of the barrel creating a discharge from the breech. The ejector is used to protect the gun compartment from the powder gases and partially to cool the barrel.

Ejector is correct. The gas accumulates and then gives out by sucking more from the cockpit.
