I feel like you could probably hear it and shoot it down yourself before it would have any decent chance of hitting you. It would probably be much more effective to have the drone fly as high as possible and the gun positioned to fire straight down.

Why not? It might not need to actually hit anyone, just the chance of being hit is probably enough to scare anyone away.

I wouldnt wanna be in a trench or field and suddenly hear gunshots coming from above.

Which of you suggested bracing the gun by pointing it directly into one’s crotch while attaching it to the drone?

It’s common Reddit knowledge to align the barrel with the “cylinder” to get to the proper mounting position.

I assumed this was the first idea but the accuracy wasn’t good enough.

It is public and (relatively) common knowledge that an Abrams tank can fire accurately at speed over rough terrain by postponing the firing of a shell by just a fraction of a second until the gyroscopes and computers determine that tank is “floating” at the apex of a bump.

That tech has existed since the 1980’s.

The implementation shown in this gif may be noncredible, but the concept most certainly belongs in the other place.

Just wait until it’s gimbal mounted with head tracking

RIGS on the original psvr used this method for aiming the guns on your mech. Obviously aiming in a game vs an actual fpv drone is different, but it was remarkably intuitive once you got over the looking one way and moving the other nausea.

DJIs Avata 2 has some interesting head tracking features.
