You do realize that a machine gun weighs A LOT, + at least the same weight in ammunition? In reality, the Darter wouldn't even be able to take off.

@Vitdom: obviously, there are no weapons except machineguns, and Darter exists in reality.

Upvoted. Quads of such size can carry cargo in order of kilograms, and .22LR gun + 20-30 rounds would weight far less than 1kg. That's not a machinegun, but will also have its use (example: Ghost Recon Alpha short movie http://youtu.be/7-wAzlqzXH0?t=7m28s)

I upvoted as it seems like a decent idea but it also sounds a bit stretched and taking the point away from the Darter a bit.

What kinda weapon do you want to mount on that thing. A .22 gun? At the distance where a 22 becomes effective you can shoot the UAV down without aiming. What'd make more sense is a Laser, but I guess that's too futuretech for the arma community. (Not as in marker, but dazzler/zapper)

Arma mean simulation, not game like COD ...

The laser is more powerful than the gun. It's more powerful because you can drop a Hellfire, GBU, or guided shell (artillery, mortar, tank) right on their heads. Anyway, at the range you would need to take someone out with a .22, the enemy would easily shoot it down, thus losing hundreds of dollars of UAS equipment and alerting the enemy. This could be done much cheaper and without the VZZZZZZZ of a quad rotor by using one man, one bullet, and a suppressor.

or just mount a small 7.62 M240.

But downvoted anyways

Just a suggestion to see how people would react. I had high doubts that Bohemia were actually going to put these in anyway.
