Hi!

So you really do need to justify a gun's place on the airframe on more

"it might be useful and you never know"..


A gun is probably the cheapest way of killing low-performace targets
like UAV:s, cheap targets that an enemy can produce in large numbers
forcing you to deplete your stock of expensive AA-misiles.


UAVs are going to be really tough gun targets: just look at the size of
them. Aircraft guns aren't a good option, if only because you're going
to need so many rounds per target.


To judge by the one looking us over earlier this week, I'ld suggest
a 12 gauge with full choke. That and lots of practice.
