Question for Helicopter pilots

There is an ad on TV with a helicopter holding a huge bag of water. Maybe 500 gallons - 4000 lbs.
They shoot a projectile into the bag to pierce it and let the water out, and it all drops out in a second.
The helicopter doesn't move. Is that possible?
So is this a faked video or is there some kind of instant autocorrect for sudden changes in weight?

Sorry to seem so naive. My experience as an aerospace engineer dealt mostly with things that had fire in one end and explosives in the other.
