Russian troops testing a new anti-drone 'mobile fire unit' almost killed one of their own soldiers when a repurposed helicopter machine gun spun out of control and sprayed bullets across a training ground.

A Yak-B 12.7 HMG on more or less a reinforced version of a diner seat base. As an anti-drone weapon, no less.

I love the guy getting up to stop it and realizing "oh that's an out-of-control loaded automatic weapon that looked like it was firing on its own a moment ago maybe I should stay below the barrel sweep.

And then he tries to stop it with his hand and I'm betting that barrel was mighty toasty to the touch.
