  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

www.military.com has a video of a UAV helicopter
practicing with mounted shotgun, fully automatic shotgun.
Unfortunately you have to register to see the videos.

It hardly moves from recoil. It's a 12 gauge shotgun.

I would think a larger longer range weapon would be better.
A shotgun has what, 20-30 yard effective range.
Of course, the 12 ga. has a pretty good kick, so if
they put a weapon with less kick, but more power, it should work too.
MAybe a half size MK19? fully auto 20mm grenade launcher on a UAV?
Oh, I should say, this is a R/C size helicopter, not the full size vehicle.

My oldest brother worked on the unmanned UAV years ago in the Army shortly before he retired.
This technology is very similar to what he did and the project he was with operated unarmed, unlike this helicopter.
