The AK-630's vertical movement is praised, with an elevation range of about -12 to +88 degrees recalled from memory. Its horizontal traverse is described more tentatively as 180 degrees to either side of a central position, without continuous rotation through a full circle. On that understanding, additional mounts would be desirable. Goalkeeper receives a favourable comparison for its stated 360-degree traverse. The OTO Melara Dardo 40 mm system is credited with the same ability, although the extent of its current sales is uncertain. A change to continuous AK-630 traverse is under discussion, but whether it has been achieved remains uncertain.

AK-630 movement compared with Goalkeeper and Dardo
A tentative comparison of AK-630, Goalkeeper and Dardo mount movement separates wide elevation arcs from the ability to traverse continuously through a full circle.
