I wish I didn't believe it

[pecunium]

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.

No. The physics of it are such that the recoil probably dips the nose, but that wouldn't be enough to cause it to fall down. It takes a decent amount of lift to get the thing in the air, and recoil is a very transitory event.
