I was wondering for a while, I’ve been playing some movement FPSs so that is what sprouted this idea.

In theory yes. The case in point would be the A-10 warthog’s gun. If it fired too long of a burst, the aircraft risks stalling due to the immense recoil of the massive gun coupled with the extremely high rate of fire.

So in theory, if you took a 10 gauge shotgun and made it feed from an electrically driven motor and 10 rotating barrels at 10k rounds per min, and you strapped a 6 lbs baby to it, my assumption is that baby would go sailing.
