Here. the tech is not new, the point is China make cheaply make millions of them while other countries can't. The quantity makes a huge difference.

How does a small drone fire a machine gun? The recoil should throw it off.

In fact, small drones can carry a variety of payloads, not just automatic rifles, but also grenade launchers, small rockets...

This is a pistol firing drone an 18 years old texas kids made 8-9 years ago



The recoil on a Glock is atrocious. You can literally see how far the drone get blown back by each round.

You can probably mount a stabiliser or gimbal to stabilise it when it fire the pistol, but for a fully auto machine gun, you probably need to be able to self-correct to be accurate, there were an US Army drone that was in development stage a few years ago implementing AI to correct course and was mounted with a M4SPR (30 round mag) Not sure how it got to as I have not checked on that project for a while.

First of all, it's a rifle, not a machine gun....

Second of all, it was shooting semi and 2/3 burst, not automatics.

But yes, this handled a lot better than the one that 18 years old made 9 years ago...
