How do they fly without the recoil flipping them over?
Lots of things spinning really, really fast.
Align the bore with the center of mass
I bet they develop something close to a .22 recoilless rifle for drone use. I.e. a rifle that shoots both ways at once so it doesn't have any recoil. And I bet it's effective beyond anyone's wildest nightmares.
I would argue slightly higher than centre of mass, as they tilt forward to fly.
Either way, pretty close points and let's be honest - centre of mass probably is the gun itself.
It's probably small caliber like 5.56 or 7.62.
