minus-squaredatendefekt@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoHow do they fly without the recoil flipping them over?
minus-squareThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoAlign the bore with the center of mass
minus-squareHappycamperNZ@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 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.
minus-squareNoSpotOfGround@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 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.
