No, it’s definitely fake.

1) no upper receiver assembly—just a barrel
2) instant power-up and take-off?
3) HUD on tablet is black & white, first-person feed is color?
4) glitchy shadows from matching CG environment to actual environment
5) very small (but noticeable) jumps and jerks of copter due to a CG object being parented to an imperfect matchmoving solution
6) obviously fake muzzle flash on flash-suppressed barrel
7) same machine gun sound for every shot (there would be SOME variance)

Cool concept, great CG work, and an entertaining accent. Fun video, but ultimately fake.

Good catch. Also where is the lower assembly? Where is the magazine? I see no place to carry any ammunition in that weapon...
Fake

Yep, good catch. Apparently a promo for Call of Duty. Also a reminder to be careful what you believe based on video these days!

All that said, there is a real helo drone right now equpped with a .338 Lapua sniper rifle. It’s quite a bit bigger, at 1100 lb or so. It is, however, controlled by a laptop + Xbox controller. ;-)
