looks like Gyros are mounted wrong.

Shouldn't the gyros be spinning in same plane as the bullet? Around the barrel.

I don't see how the gyros would help in the horizontal plane, and would only provide side to side stability. Is that what is intended because that is how a machine gun is used these days? Do they want to maintain free movement in vertical to zero in the range?

IMO an AR's barrel mounting system seems perfect for adding a gyro where the handguard is. Might be featured in my upcoming Zombie Epic. Main thing will be they make a really cool sound when spooling up. (also be the main real world selling point) Tactically, that will give everyone an opportunity to find cover, and will awaken Zombies.

My stomach so growling.

I could see that being mounted on drones. Imagine being able to precision snipe targets from a drone. Could be a very scary and effective tool.

Well gyros also do spin on the spit.

A gyro doesn't lock the gun into one position, it simply makes it more difficult to move it. Try holding a bicycle front wheel off the ground and spin it fast. Then try turning the handle bars to the left or the right. You meet resistance, but it moves.

You have three dimensions in which the gun can move.

1. Side to Side. This is the probably the most affected when in a moving vehicle. This appears to be how these gyros are set up.

2. Up and Down. This is primarily a problem when on bumpy roads.

3. Forward and Backwards. This movement is almost completely eliminated by mounting the gun to the vehicle.

Mounting a gyro so it spins around the barrel will only keep the gun from moving forward and backwards. On a vehicle mounted weapon this would serve no purpose at all.

Is it me or is it him? Are we back in kindergarten? Don't you understand how a Flying Saucer works?

The toy (like any gyro) can be moved up/down/side to side with no added effort, it only resists changing the ORIENTATION of the axle/wheel.

A gyro spinning AROUND the barrel would make the barrel the axis, thus resisting any change in the direction the barrel was pointed (while not resisting recoil/recovery except for a bit of added weight).

Drone fired pork gyros with pita shrapnel.

This could change the entire middle east conflict!

I think a version of pork gyros actually exists since Greeks, Armenians and some Arab Christians can and do eat swine.
