Machine gun mounted to a drone
 

the concept is probably true, but for some reasons, this video sounds fake

probably something done for a gaming university

Nice, but I don't see that ground breaking battle wise. Nice addition though, especially if that is quite cheap. You know, cheaper than small scout helicopter or something like that, as it probably is cheaper than that.

How much that kind of drone can take hit? If I shoot one rotor, does it become unstabilized and drop?

He admitted this video was all CG and fake.

This was a fake video created to raise hype for one of the Call Of Duty games that featured similar weapons in-game.

Yep, looks like a fake.

It's about as real as his fake Russian accent.

Shit that reminds me i haven't even started the Campaign in Advanced Warfare yet...

The .22 would be my zombie apocalypse weapon also. You can carry so much more ammo.

About flamethrower; they often use special cream on their face (to counter the heat). Or gas mask. That drone was fake, but there will be others that won't be.

why wouldn't there be helicopter drones with machine guns?

I would imagine it would be difficult dealing with the weight of the gun / ammo as well as the battery life, as well as making the firing accurate after dealing with the kick back of the weapon. Of course I'm sure people are working on perfecting this. I'd be scared of the sucker losing control while firing and spraying bullets in all directions.

a sling shot could knock it out of the sky... scout helicopter? seriously?

oh, and fake as shit.. obviously.

makes sense.

won't be long i bet

Scout helicopter with machine guns was the closest manned equivalent that came into my mind. Although it costs millions and that drone hopefully not.

Just googled this.

"The Kiowa's role as a scout aircraft is being supplemented by tactical unmanned aerial vehicles, the two platforms often act in conjunction to provide reconnaissance to expose crews to less risk"

EDIT: "Price/Unit Cost:

In FY 2014, a new build OH-58D(R) costs $13.00 million (flyaway cost) of which $5.88 million is for the airframe."

Ahh so it was fake, you can kind of tell the way it's flying which was too perfect.
Also by the blast of the gun it looked like CGI.

impressive shit

If it is fake, then it's pretty good. As someone who does CG for a living, I don't think the average person understands it's not just a button click to put a realistic CG object in video footage and get the lighting and rendering correct.

But I don't think muzzle flashes are visible in bright daylight. Also, I doubt he'd be allowed to destroy the drone like he does at the end of the video.

this one looks more true:

That demonstrates one problem that isn't that easily solved: aircraft with small mass is seriously affected by the "kick" when shooting. Although there are "recoilless" cannons, etc., I doubt it can be applied to guns at this size.

still, there is only one test that showed a kickback.. the 12 gauge was basically nothing

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

100% fake
