minus-squaredatendefekt@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·11 months agoHow do they fly without the recoil flipping them over?
minus-squareCorkyskoglinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·11 months agoLots of things spinning really, really fast.
minus-squareThrowawayPermanentelinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·11 months agoAlign the bore with the center of mass
minus-squareNoSpotOfGround@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·11 months agoI bet they develop something close to a .22 recoilless rifle for drone use. I.e. a rifle that shoots both ways at once so it doesn’t have any recoil. And I bet it’s effective beyond anyone’s wildest nightmares.
minus-squareHappycamperNZ@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoI would argue slightly higher than centre of mass, as they tilt forward to fly. Either way, pretty close points and let’s be honest - centre of mass probably is the gun itself.
