Some details make it obvious that you don&#8217;t have a real prototype, but a (very good) computer simulation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; a good point: you have some recoil when the machine gun is firing. You wouldn&#8217;t allow a bigger caliber though, or you may risk to see your copter suddenly pushed violently backwards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; but the guy doesn&#8217;t seem to pilot anything with his tablet. His movements don&#8217;t match the copter&#8217;s reactions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; such a light helicopter wouldn&#8217;t be able to carry more than one single type of\u00a0ammunition: simple bullets or incendiary, you have to choose. Still, you don&#8217;t even see an ammunition box. Even better: the gun is actually only the barrel of a gun. You have no ammunition feed or even a chamber&#8230; just the barrel.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_81\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gun.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-81\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-81\" title=\"gun barrel\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gun.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gun.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gun-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-81\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">the gun barrel snapshot\/crop @ 01:03<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; it is claimed that each rotor has its single actuation system, but we don&#8217;t see any actuator on the structure below the rotors or cyclic control on the blades:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_83\" style=\"width: 484px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/killercopter.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-83\" title=\"killercopter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/killercopter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/killercopter.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/killercopter-300x164.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-83\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">snapshot\/crop @ 01:48<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_82\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/blades.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-82\" title=\"blades\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/blades.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/blades.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.blueskyrotor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/blades-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-82\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">close view of the blades snapshot @ 01:15<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8211; why those fancy colors on the video transmitted to the tablet?
