McDonnell's V-1 Flying "Jeep".

Apparently it's a kind of helicopter - but I'm not sure... :)

Think the idea was that you could put lots of stuff in the center like an caro or passenger pod, perhaps an turret.

The recolless rifle show is stupid as the backblast would easy hit the pilot.  Putting an flamethrower on it is as shown also stupid as its an short range weapon, the downdraft don't help.

Genesis Sample Return.

Or how NASA planned and executed an impressive 27 months mission collecting ions from space, just to lithobreak the thing because they inverted a sensor and the chutes didn't opened.

Just like when we save a doomed mission just to reach Kerbin's atmosphere ans realize we got out of electricity to kick the chutes!
