Trust me when I tell you the AGM-114 Hellfire missile system on the RQ-1 is the best weapon deployment system for the package, mounting a Browning .50 would waste practical space onboard for satellite communications, optics, and most importantly, fuel.

We have the CIA to thank for this, and for the most part are the ones running the armed fleet of drones. Leave the close air support to the A-10 Warthogs!
