I was wondering about this. Because besides just figuring out how to fire it, dealing with the recoil and the weight of gun and ammunition. What can you reasonably kill without losing the drone?
You need a couple small rounds to down an unarmed target, in the videos, even drone operators a bit behind the front line wear armor, and I don’t believe they’ll have the range to find their way into some kind of base/encampment.
So do they aim them at exposed bits? It should be possible, especially with AI aim assist, and with the reusability might warrant upgrading cameras on the drone to something with enough resolution. But the time to track and aim, even machine assisted, would seem to put the drone at much increased risk.
I also don’t believe they’ll have the equipment for sniping or suppressive fire with the light drones currently in use.

What could they feasibly be used for?
