A flyboard for a Macron fanboy with a rifle. What could possibly go wrong?

Lmao :)))
Love your humor.
Probably nobody is joining the army no more,
and this is how they try to attract the youth...
Poor guy could hardly hold his remote control
and the rifle at the same time...
He prob. shoots himself, before anybody else ;)

Humans... Invent a new flying thingy and the first thing is to use it as a weapon.
Not to rescue/support others, no. Sad.

I'm suitably amazed, and am sure we all want one. For military applications, I reckon integrating the controls into a bespoke firearm platform is preferable to the extant remote. I wouldn't want to have to land it on a boat in any kind of weather, or anything remotely flammable, but that leaves a lot of good prospects. Clearly, flight time is limited, and I suspect that's not going to be resolvable via midair refueling easily. Combine the engine tech with a more comfortable platform, and some of those limitations could be mitigated.
The compact size and apparent ease of use is truly inspirational. I have to note that one handed operation of a shouldered firearm is of extremely limited utility, and reckon the flyboard is far more suitable to transporting a warfighter to a fire zone than as a platform for firing operations. Whoever had him carry the firearm was overly interested in projecting fear and had little grasp of military capability.
Thanks!
