 https://www.twz.com/air/minigun-armed-mojave-drone-now-blasting-targets-at-6000-rounds-per-minute General Atomics' Mojave short take-off and landing drone armed with a pair of Dillon Aero DAP-6 Minigun pods shredded several static targets in a first-of-its-kind live-fire demonstration earlier this month. The company already has plans to further build on this new capability. This also comes as it is looking to pitch something of a hybrid of Mojave and its MQ-1C Gray Eagle to the U.S. Army as a new armed reconnaissance platform following the service's cancellation of its most recent armed scout helicopter program. Imagine being Chinese on some stupid man made island and like a half dozen come out of the air and just spray a hundred thousand rounds of 7.62

Look like as many as 6-8 would fit on the drone,, don’t know payload capacity, but that fucker flying with 8 mini guns would be a lot of FAFO in a small package!

I don't understand why they would use a unidirectional mount unless the intended purpose is intercepting other drones. If this was for air to ground attack or ground support, wouldn't you put the gun in a gimbal mount like Apaches/Cobras etc?
