    Even if it’s not completely impossible, it would be completely useless. What would be the point of rotary chain guns on a drone? Assuming the thing had enough lifting capacity to carry the barrels, there isn’t enough space in that thing to carry enough ammo to fire for more than a second.

        You’d kinda run into the same issue either way, you’d either have not enough ammo or not enough battery storage. Plus, there isn’t really a reason to have rotary barrels on something like a laser. They would theoretically be more of a sustained fire kind of weapon.
