Shooting a moving target is actually extremely difficult, especially if you are using a rifle instead of a shotgun. You can also see one of the soldiers drawing and aiming a handgun after landing, so they aren't completely without firepower. Chances are good that they could also strap a bullpup rifle or subcompact machine gun on their chest during flight.
Also if significant resistance is expected, there are always torpedoes.
- dogma1138 5y agoShooting a target that moves at a constant speed isn’t hard even with a rifle, at least not at these ranges. A more interesting use for these would be if they can be used as an arrested landing system for arial insertion at that point you essentially get drop troopers. This is a nice proof of concept but i doubt this would go through a sufficient risk reduction to be useful in an actual combat situation anytime soon.
