Modern gun often use the recoil energy to reload and so there is little recoil. this technology dates to the late 1800’s and was in use in wwi.
Yes, but on a drone you have access to a battery, so there’s nothing preventing you from foregoing a classic reload mechanism and using a servo of some sort to reload if you want to reduce recoil.
That would increase recoil which on a small drone would be important to reduce.
Sorry, maybe we talked past each other here. How would using an open-ended firing tube that reloads using a battery-powered “loading arm” (I.e. some kind of servo-driven mechanism), increase recoil?
it doesn’t increase recoil. However by not diverting and using the recoil energy there is more recoil. Recoil is a lot of concentreted energy so wasting it makes no sense - in a drone where battery life is already a problem it is worse. I suspect recoil is lighter than a servo as well but that needs analisys
if the highest accuracy is needed than recoil systems cannot give you that. However his is a shotgun why by design is not accurate. Still if doing a rifle system for longer range shots different tradeoffs apply.
