Probably looses a little air speed. One of my co-workers was a Huey gunner during Vietnam, and he told me that they fitted a Vulcan cannon to an airship, but they lost so much airspeed when they fired it that it was hard to keep in the air, so the 86’d it.

That was my immediate thought too. I've watched those remote control helicopters in action and they take a lot of skill to fly. I can see the first shot going off successfully but the recoil will really have an impact on the chopper's stability which could result in it crashing let alone the time it will take to stabilize it for a second shot....
