Autogyro gunship

A drone with an IR camera would be much better, especially for COIN, which is more or less what post-happening would be

Okay fine

In response to OP. You must be a literal fucking retard and here is why.

>So how hard would it be for me to buy/build one of these and fly it?
The one you posted in that image is called 'Aerotrek ELA G8 Cruser' and runs 50k->120k depending on how optioned out you want it
No you can't build one fuckhead.

>What are the legalities I'd need to complete or licensing needed?
Check your state or country fuckstick, but gaurantee you'd need a year of pilot training and god knows your too much of a mouth breather for that

>They seem like they'd be perfect for making a cheap innawoods aircraft for bush piloting.
No it fucking wouldn't and thats not how any of what you said works. It requires a runway and storage area as well as maintanence, none of which you know or have.

>Would it also be feasible to attache upside down with drum magazines and hook the trigger up to the stick?
Would it be feasable to not be a fucking retard? Besides the fact that you'll need ammo and shit tonnes of it for any sustained firing. All of this costs weight you fucking retard, those things are dirt cheap because they can't carry more than a mouse dick. If you hook big guns, or really even ar15's to this, you'll have to take into account a whole lot of extra fucking weight and balance issues, plus the fact that you'll have limited firing axis because thats how fucking guns mounted to flying things work.

>I was considering also mounting a cheap tablet to control a scout drone in the rear seat of a tandem one
Hooking thermal imaging to a generic store bought drone or specialist drone is probably 500times better than whatever the fuck your saying. Hence why remote aircraft are replacing piloted ones. Fuckhead.

1/2

CONT

>and also giving the rear guy a rifle to shoot at any ground walkers below.
Why don't you ask him to 360noscope them too? You have any idea how hard it is to shoot small ant sized targets hiding in the bush as you fly by going 50km at 200feet while the whole thing rattles horrificly? You won't hit shit, hence why aircraft from the a10 to the ac130 to the apache use exploding shells, so you don't have to score direct hits to kill, also to kill soft targets.

>maybe using cheap ham radios to set up a mobile airborne comms relay.
Dumb fucking idea, buy cheap ham radios anyway because why not

Could these be feasible for an autistic LARP or SHTF scenario?
No you fucking retard it'll never work you goddamn autist buy a drone and hook a thermal camera to it for surveying shit

>Or would the costs of running/maintaining it be prohibitive?
The costs in parts, maintain, fuel, etc are far too high. Dipshit.

2/2

great responses.

>Sikorsky S-97 raider
Who's laughing now retards

That's the kind of briliant idea only someone who watched a hannah & barbera cartoon would think of.
Even my deceased grandpa could shoot one of those "gunships" down with a fucking garand and you niggers expect this shit to be taken to battle?

You seem a tad upset user, I was just asking if this COULD work, I know any effective combat scenario this thing would die. This would be more of a fun range toy/transport vehicle that you can fuck about in if needed; besides that I dont see any alternative man-moving aircraft you're adding, except a drone with TI (which I obviously would have anyway before descending into this)
I mainly want to fly around the woods and scare deer and hikers and be able to air lift myself innawoods if shit goes down, maybe gun down refugees from the cities if needed

You're basically an extremely shitty A-10 with none of the benefits that make the A-10 not shitty.
>what are the legalities
Pilots license for starters, then there's state/county/whatever laws about private aircraft.
>perfect cheap innawoods aircraft
The only kind you're getting are rc drones. Never under any circumstances cheap out on piloted aircraft unless you have a death wish or are just that retarded. And innawoods? Fucking forget it, you're innawoods, not the flat open bush.
>upside down drum mags on your rat rod aerial edition
Absurdly retarded. And did it ever occur to you how much maintenance you'd need to do on it? How you'll need a storage area which would require your own land/building? Fuck building one of these (which you won't), you don't even have the proper foundation to start on.

>You seem a tad upset user
Because fuckheads like you wander in from /b/ and shit up Jow Forums

>I was just asking if this COULD work
It could never ever fucking work.

> know any effective combat scenario this thing would die
THEN WHY THE FUCK MOUNT GUNS TO IT

>This would be more of a fun range toy/transport vehicle that you can fuck about in if needed
retarded idea and statement

>besides that I dont see any alternative man-moving aircraft you're adding

The most cost effective transport methods are now going to be listed in order of least to most

Sea. Ground. Air.

Get a pickup if you need to move you fucking retard and have a drone flying recon overhead with thermal sights. Dumbfuck.

>I mainly want to fly around the woods and scare deer and hikers and be able to air lift myself innawoods if shit goes down, maybe gun down refugees from the cities if needed

All of these are retarded ideas that won't work like you think.

Die faggot.

It will work best of you have a snake as your copilot, and throw Molotov cocktails at ground targets. Be careful flying too close though, as this will put you in crossbow range of your foes.

>fly around the woods
You do know there's like, trees and shit innawoods right? Have you ever even been in a forested area? You're not flying shit past a drone in there and you're just going to annoy the people in it with your autistcopter.
>gun down refugees in the cities
Please go back to /b/ and stay there.

>airlift myself innawoods
Become a legitimate brush pilot.
>maybe gun down refugees from the cities if needed
There are easier and more efficient ways to commit mass murder, you traitorous, selfish fuck.

>I hate things that deviate from my incredibly boring and bland set up, and am incredibly angry someone asked a hypothetical project question about a retarded yet fun idea
I'm sorry user but I fail to see how this would not work in a very basic way at the least; gyrocopter flies, man with gun and pack flies in gyrocopter, nig-rig a tablet to fly a drone from it, and stick some funs on the side to use as front guns. Literally everything there has been tried in the past; it would essentially be like the first airplanes, except bubbud to shit and with radios
Now the next question is could I have my rear seat guy throw homemade bombs out of the side like WWI bombers?

Everyone in this thread has explained why this is a dumb idea.

I don't care, atleast when you crash your shoddily maintained and overburdened faggotcopter i can pilfer your corpse for loot

faggot

bye.

Of course theres trees and shit, I live in the desert where open clearings are a dime a dozen, and the wooded areas we have also have fairly large clearings within or on the outskirts of the woods
>become a legitimate bush pilot
This would require an expensive helicopter and licensing, instead of a cheap Bubba copter I can project in my workshop garage, and I was wondering what the liscencing would be on these aircraft since o have heard certain light aircraft dont require a license to fly. I was wondering if this is one of them
>there are easier ways to commit mass murder
Of course but none compare to flying into battle on a gyrocopter keeping the city filth away from my rural homestead
