So, wait... Are the machine guns being fired or simply dropped onto the enemy? ๐ค
79,000 rpm/88 guns = 897.7 rpm/gun, but Wikipedia has the PPSh-41 rate of fire listed as 1250 rpm, which would make this 110,000 rpm.
But, that drum magazine only has 71 rounds, so you could get 110,000 rpm for about 3 seconds (71 rounds/1250 rpm = 0.057 min = 3.4 sec) ... and then what? Fly back to base so you can swap out 88 individual drum magazines? And also do maintenace on any of the guns that jammed?
Some real redneck engineering energy.
It's ww1 thinking. Aerial darts were fairly effective, not really damage wise but fear wise. They imagined the save idea but it doesn't have the same effect since they aren't that loud and visually don't make a s much of an impact as seeing you homeboy suddenly turned into a gruesome pincushion.
A WWII brrrrt gun. Interesting.
Imagine being the ammo guy hand reloading all those drum magazines though between sorties.
That's just one reason why this is completely impractical.
