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.
