The $179 "Care Package" version of the new videogame comes with a "MQ-27 Dragonfire Drone" (whatever that is). News here.
This is the same game that sponsored this fake video that got posted everywhere a few months ago.
Comment by Will Snodgrass on August 28, 2012 at 10:45pm I like the people that explode both before there hit, and some a little bit after
Comment by Ellison Chan on August 29, 2012 at 6:02am Lol, finally an excuse to post the video. ;-)
Comment by Balloon on August 29, 2012 at 8:10am Ohhh
Comment by PACEFE on August 29, 2012 at 3:37pm ,22 long is about 4 grams x round. 100 rounds are 400grams + 1.6 kg for a sub machine gun is about 2kg.
2 kg is not that much for a quad.
Things are exploding when hitted in certain area and the recoil of the gun can be seen while the gun is shooting.
And this guy is well know to play with all kind of guns including RPGs and big stuff.
I might be naif but does not looks fake to me
Comment by Ellison Chan on August 29, 2012 at 3:42pm Let's not debate the realism of this. ;-)
It's already been proven to be a hoax, and just an promotion for the game.
Comment by PACEFE on August 29, 2012 at 3:50pm ok :-)
Comment by Ben Carson on August 29, 2012 at 4:13pm Obviously fake, But think about what advantages rotating nacelles would give a gun platform such as this, could it be used to assist aiming in the air, as long as the nacelles rotation doesn't actually screw with the air crafts cog etc.
If I am not completely wrong, and there are millions of hurdles to implement such a system so be it, but its definitely worth a think about :)
Comment by Ben Carson on August 29, 2012 at 4:16pm Oh also, btw the only reason I can think of for such a system to out perform a conventional camera mount is if the machine was a weapon and due to size (or other reasons) had to have the weapon hard mounted on the quad to increase the airframes integrity and ability to tolerate such a setup.
