Quite a few comments say its a fake video. Something to do with a game "Call of Duty".

I don't c that it has to be fake tho, its a big one and should be able to handle the recoil.

What wonders me is the controller just standing there while flying an supposedly armed drone pointing the gun all over the place while smirking at the camera.

If you look closely at the "gun", you will see that it is nothing more than a propane fired simulator, all bang and muzzle flash, no rounds. There are no expended cartridges coming from the thing, and the recoil would be rather intense with a short barrel like that firing any 5.56mm round. (It is an M-16 barrel, cut down of course) Also, love the liberal use of tannerite and gas for increased effect.

Doesn't take much for a shooter off camera to light up the range area with another weapon while his elevation remains fixed so as to not intersect his line of fire with the flight path of the UAV. Sink your limiting stakes to the left and right of the barrel, preventing movement left or right past a certain point, then tie some 550 cord from stake to stake above the barrel to keep the muzzle from elevating too high.

I was wondering where the mag was, and how it could seem so light when loaded down with 100 rounds of ammo.

Jason has a mini quadrotor. He can land an RC helicopter on my outstretched hand, and he's mutilated the things to add and remove all sorts of parts and still fly. The quad is far more sensitive. It is tricky to fly, seems to enjoy crash landing, and balance is very important. I am sure the larger ones can handle a camera but I can't see anything less than a full sized monster machine dealing with the recoil from a gun.
