Is this guy really from Russia or is he faking the accent?

That guy is a character. Now that’s what I call a RED-neck, pun intended, but without malice at this time. With his sense of humor, he seems like a good ole boy from the U. S.

I’ll admit, it did make me rather nervous to see him flying that thing pointed in his direction at times.

Looks fake to me. Cool idea, though.

A few months ago I read about the installation of .50-cal Barrett rifles on UAVs for long-distance precision shots. I don’t know if it ever got implemented.

Hard to stop laughing!

I really, really hate to do this as what he does is often priceless. Yeah, it's fake and so is he.

He does many videos and most are quite real regarding the firearms. Occasionally they've been "augmented" with video effects. And, he's not really "Russian". It's a gimmick.

But this one takes it to a new level and it's hysterical that the DailyMail picked it up and reposted it as real.

This is as good as the time a Democrat politician thought Birdman's "HoMeBoy Night Sights" were real and tried to make a political/racial issue out of them.

Practically speaking a UAV carrying a gun would need to use electrically fired or rocket cartridges, and be as recoil-less as possible. Perhaps using something like a rocket pod to fire .50 caliber rockets.

Of course the special exploding targets give if a nice touch too.
