    The weight of the drone + battery + gun is enough to absorb most of the recoil, and the gyroscope compensates for the rest.

      I have no way of judging the weight of this drone, but was thinking there must be something more than just “mass+gyro” since the recoil from a shotgun can be quite a bit to stabilise even for an 80 kg man. That’s of course before taking into account how the recoil aligns with the centre of mass of the shooter (drone in this case).

          Good point, a standard shotgun shell is probably overkill for shooting down drones at short range.
