I still think someone should design and make a light weight 22 rimfire minigun for interceptor drones. I'd be on it but it's highly illegal here. There's never been a need before but now? 1000 rounds is around 4kg. This is hilarious but case in point..
Miniguns have motorized loading and ejection. The rim is big so it'll grab and eject easier. The rim is the biggest problem with delivery but there are many ways to do it.
Tracer rounds too. Check out long range and penetrating 22rf yt vids.
I grew up shootin 22s from old expensive target rifles
I heard about that. Expensive but the ultimate sol.. idea.
Still, I tried to launch bottle rockets from my RC F4U Corsair back in the late 70s so I've always been into shit like that. But I crashed it a lot. My big glider was better anyways.
A10s with the autocannons always looked effective.
The gattling gun is just a silly archaic reference. Miniguns fire many rounds per second. The smaller the round the faster too. The drone shotguns are far more limited and they don't appear to be using autoloaders.
Problem is 22s are pretty inaccurate and prone to duds/jamming. And there isn’t tons of it already on the battlefield. It’s simpler to use systems and ammo that already exist
Huh. Such a popular entry level sport in NA. Rheinmetall:
is building a new ammunition factory in Unterlüß, Germany, to enhance the country's ammunition production, including .22LR ammunition.
Strapping 1 or 2 of these on a drone would be simple
Not a lot of interceptor drones either. Spitfires and Hurricanes with 303s weren't exactly accurate either. Moving target anyways. 303 Brit - There's a big round making my point about scale.
