A lightweight energetic weapons pod 2 that integrates to unmanned aerial systems 1 that enables the operator the ability to engage targets without flight degradation. The device utilizes an energetic weapons pod 2 that may be reloaded to support sustained combat operations. The ability of the device to function as intended is based on explosive mitigation compression zones and recoilless configurations that allow drone survivability during detonation events.

The present invention relates to a counter mass container (2) enclosing a plurality of parallel axially extending channels (1). The invention also relates to an assembly of a plurality of such counter mass containers (2). The invention also relates to a weapon comprising a barrel (5) accommodating such an assembly.
