I wish I didn't believe it

I like toys, and things which go boom, and even "bang" as much as the next guy (heck, perhaps more than most), but it never occured to me to make a Flying .45.

I mean, no; just, no.

A guy took an RC helicopter, fixed a .45 Colt to it, added a video camera (so he could see what it was pointing at), and hooked up an actuator so he could actually fire it, while flying the helicopter.

The mind reels.

That's what I was thinking. How could he accurately compensate for the recoil?

Well, it's apparently a pretty beefy helicopter. If you look at the video, it hardly moves at all when firing. Moreover, with a rigid frame attachment it probably will stay steady long enough to avoid the risks of limp-wristing you'd have in a human shooter anyway.
