is fed by two 10-round magazines. It operates at 25 rds/min, prioritizing controlled, deliberate engagement over suppressive fire.
Why does it have two guns then? I don't understand why a single gun isn't sufficient given the low rate of fire and limited ammo.
I don't know, I wonder if semi synchronized opposing recoil helps with not ripping the drone apart, but yeah I have same question.
It is hilarious that the browning .50 is so prevalent people consider doing this though, it is probably the most successful firearm ever.
A key innovation is the recoiling reload mechanism, designed to significantly reduce the recoil forces transmitted to the airframe. Recoil management has historically been a limiting factor for mounting large-caliber weapons on rotary UAS platforms, and this technical solution enables stable firing without compromising flight control authority.
