The thing the GYROCOPTER **NEEDS!**

[Pichii]

Gyrocopter needs a mod... A minigun to be exact.
The machine gun should go BRRRRRRT, in honor of the retired hogs.

Haha. It's a funny thought, but could you imagine a GAU-8 mounted on a gyro? The weight of that gun alone would make it unflyable. And even if you could get off the ground, firing would either push the gyro backwards or just rip the gun right off the frame. 😆

Sure they do, and they should try to be as realistic as possible:

 

• Weight of the entire system - gun, ammo feeding system, ammo
• Battery drain
• Ammo consumption

 

I can see it now.  TFP add the minigun to the gyro.  Everyone mounts it and realize that they first have to fill up the ammo bin with 4000 rounds of 7.62.  Then assuming that you can get the gyro up with the additional weight, pull the trigger and see what happens first - you use up all the ammo or completely drain your battery  😄

Yeah.. that's not happening. TFP have said they don't want players to be able to shoot from vehicles, so I really doubt vehicles would get any sort of mounted weapons, unfortunately.

could be mounted backwards, then firing it would act as an additional thruster (which the gyro actually does need badly anyway) 😀
