Another Ukrainian six-barrel recoilless shotgun system for mounting on an FPV is called “Predator Shooter”, developed by the Ukrainian company 3D Tech. This system uses 12 gauge shells, apparently with a second shell firing backwards as the recoil compensation. 1/

A Ukrainian FPV with a six-barrel recoilless shotgun system called “Shooter”, for targeting Russian reconnaissance and FPV drones. Each barrel fires a cartridge that is equivalent to a 12 gauge, and they can be fired individually, in a burst, or in a full six barrel salvo! 1/ x.com/GrandpaRoy2/st…

There is also a two barrel system to allow higher FPV speeds. The FPV below has a thermal camera, as one of the intended targets of this system is Russian drones that dangle lines to entangle the propellors of Ukrainian heavy drones at night. 2/

Russian FPVs with thermal cameras are dangling lines to entangle Ukrainian “Baba Yaga” heavy drones at night. The line will have a mechanism to break away from the attacking drone when under sufficient tension. x.com/GrandpaRoy2/st…
By the looks of it it seems the cartrage has its own barrel and its held into the CF tube sleves by just a plastic tab. using its own barrel as countermass would give the best battery economics and simplisaty at the expence of higher $/shot ration
