       #feditips did you know that most automatic weapons have thrust-to-weight ratio higher than 1.0? This means that when fired directly downwards with a standard mag, an AK can actually achieve lift. If you strap enough AKs to yourself and fire them at the same time, you can lift off the ground and fly anywhere you want!The main reason why fully automatic weapons are banned in almost every country isn't to prevent people from shooting each other. It is because the governments are afraid of everyone having access to cheap and reliable air travel, thus starving airlines out of profits.

       @newt i remember reading that some soviet plane model had an autocannon on it that had so much recoil that it basically couldn't be fired as it'd stall the plane

       @chjara not only soviet. Most airplane-mounted autocannons provide enough thrust to counteract at least a single engine.https://stereophonic.space/notice/ATd0Oz0rruTZ5b5DGa

       @newt XKCD's writer covered this. You could use a GAU to make your car extra speedy.

       @chjara@snowdin.town @newt@stereophonic.space Mig-27? Probably the soviet plane with the most powerful autocannon that I can recallDidn't stall, but the plane often came out fucked up after firing, with fun variety of vibration-related failures, from landing lights breaking to the dashboard falling off.

       @Paradox @newt >On the MiG-27 "Flogger" the GSh-6-30 had to be mounted obliquely to absorb recoil. The gun was noted for its high (often uncomfortable) vibration and extreme noise. The airframe vibration led to fatigue cracks in fuel tanks, numerous radio and avionics failures, the necessity of using runways with floodlights for night flights (as the landing lights would often be destroyed), tearing or jamming of the forward landing gear doors (leading to at least three crash landings), cracking of the reflector gunsight, an accidental jettisoning of the cockpit canopy and at least one case of the instrument panel falling off in flight. The weapons also dealt extensive collateral damage, as the sheer numbers of fragments from detonating shells was sufficient to damage aircraft flying within a 200-meter radius from the impact center, including the aircraft firing.i cast "fuck you" in your general direction

       @Paradox @chjara @newt Their mistake was equipping a plane with an autocannon, instead of equipping an autocannon with a plane.
