The North University of China has created a machine gun with almost zero recoil for drones, advancing unmanned warfare technology.
Its engineers and scientists adjusted this AK-47 so that firing it is as light as tapping a keyboard.
As a result, people can install the weapon on consumer drones or toy robotic dogs.
Yahoo Finance reports China has gained a significant advantage over other nations by developing such weapons.
Consequently, more countries will likely adapt to this technology.
Professor Liu Pengzhan’s team at the North University of China’s School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering developed this unique AK-47.
They drilled a hole at the rear of the gun barrel, releasing the gas shock wave from the explosion after firing the weapon.
Also, they developed a new design with a high-strength seal at the rear and an electromagnetic induction chip to maintain bullet speed.
The chip ignites an explosive and launches a bullet once it receives a firing command.
Then, pressure vents through the hole, reducing recoil and maintaining high muzzle velocity.
