That fluidity would be a problem with a gun - you need some rigidity if you want the second and third shots to go pretty close to where you pointed the first one. Of course, since we're talking about sci-fi technology here, you could have not just recoil suppression, but recoil correction -- servos that actively push the barrel back down to correct.

If the weapon is hanging loosely, what is the servo going to push against?

Obviously, a stock steadicam harness wouldn't work for a gun mount; that was my point. It would have to be far more rigid, or able to become more rigid. The whole point of a steadicam is to smooth out motion, to avoid any sharp jerks in the camera. With a gun, you want sharp motion -- you want the barrel to point where you want, NOW.
