Because we could probably make it like this:

that is pretty awesome.

now lets attach a mini-gun on the bottom and add a 30 mm auto cannon on the top

They might want to put a roll cage on it.

And a 30mm autocannon probably weights almost as much as the bike itself (and a minigun with ammo weights another ~200lbs). Good luck making that work.

way to destroy my Optimism :D

They could just quadruple the size, and maybe not the Auto cannon

On the bright side, the extra weight could provide extra buoyancy. That design there, with the rotors beneath the driver, is inherently unstable so long as the center of mass is above the plane of the rotors. Add a hundred lbs of machine gun to lower the center of mass, and problem solved.
