In today’s era of continuous integration and development of technology and military, the application of drones in various fields is becoming increasingly widespread, especially in some special scenarios. As a combat tool, the hanging gun shooting drone exhibits many unique advantages.
1、 Outstanding cost-effectiveness
Compared to using expensive anti drone equipment such as anti-aircraft missiles and laser weapon systems, the cost of shooting drones with guns is much lower. Conventional air defense missiles are expensive, often costing hundreds of thousands of dollars or even more per missile, and the cost of the accompanying launch, detection, and command systems is also significant. Drone mounted guns usually rely on existing light weapons such as rifles, submachine guns, etc. for modification. The cost of firearms is relatively low, and even with compatible aiming and stabilizing devices, the overall cost is still within an acceptable range. For some budget limited security forces and small military units, it is a cost-effective choice.
2、 Easy to operate and user-friendly
Most active military personnel, police officers, and other security personnel are familiar with the operation of firearms and can proficiently master the skills of using firearms through basic shooting training. The operation logic of hanging gun shooting unmanned aerial vehicles is similar to conventional gun shooting. Operators only need to learn additional aiming prediction methods for airborne moving targets on the basis of their existing firearm skills, as well as familiarize themselves with the simple operation of hanging gun devices, in order to quickly put them into actual combat. Compared to the complex electronic warfare anti drone system, which requires professional electronic technology knowledge and a steep learning curve, the hanging gun shooting method can enable more personnel to possess anti drone capabilities in a short period of time.
3、 Strong flexibility to adapt to diverse scenarios
1. Wide terrain adaptability: Shooting drones with guns is not limited by complex terrain, whether it is narrow streets in cities, high-rise buildings in urban areas, rugged terrain in mountainous hills, or dense jungle environments. As long as personnel can arrive at the scene, they can carry guns to launch defense against drones. Unlike large-scale air defense systems, there are many requirements for the flatness of the field and the width of the space during deployment, making it difficult to deploy flexibly in mountainous and forested areas.
2. Rapid emergency response: In the event of a sudden drone threat, such as small drones entering sensitive areas or temporary low altitude reconnaissance drones, security personnel can quickly grab their guns and rush to the scene without waiting for the transportation and debugging of large equipment. They can immediately engage in combat, quickly prevent further drone actions, and minimize potential risks.
