I watched the video. The thing looks as useless as tits on a bull as it is now. It needs an aiming and stabilization to be at all effective. He was an idiot for posting it online where the feds could see it in the first place. I would have kept it to myself while doing more work on it.....

Actually it looks dangerous as hell, like it could easily accidentally shoot someone. Agreed, they aren't going to program it to go on a mission any time soon but it does look reckless. It just keeps shooting and shooting. What a bad idea.

No, a big enough and fast enough RC airplane with a live view camera where the user can kamakazi it into someone is more dangerous and also commercially off the shelf available. You're an anti is what's driving you to be a'feerd of a drone with a pistol on it. The fact that it's unstable and can't be aimed be damned.

That's the worst kind of scenario for an accident!

I am not an anti, I am a Responsi which means I support RESPONSIBLE gun ownership not this sort of crap.

Murdering your neighbor, easier than ever. Sounds great.

Can CAREFULLY designed and organized "dog fights" be far behind? Airborne Battle-bots?

Complete with collateral damage, for the sake of realism.

I'm NOT an "anti." I have often been accused of being a rabid "pro."

I'm not interested in disagreeing with that accusation.

And I don't like the idea of ANYONE (official military, terrorist, hobbyist, survivalist, civilian, or otherwise) being able to kill by what amounts to remote control. I am not OK with the idea or the fact of actual killing resembling a video game. That's making it TOO DAMN EASY to pull the trigger without ever actually realizing that those targets are people.

"Fifty thousand feet and the sky's a brilliant blue. You fly for a while in that stillness, then you take a reading, press a button, drop your load. I'm a really lucky guy. If I couldn't fly, I wouldn't touch this war."

Nobody gets to be a bombardier without seeing the human results of dropping those bombs.

And nobody gets to kill on a monitor screen.

If it's not worth the risk of one's own life, not worth the risk of fully and agonizingly knowing you're a killer, and not worth dancing with PTSD, then it's not worth war. Sometimes it is worth those things. But we're known for abusing military action, and turning combat into Call of Duty just makes it TOO DAMN EASY.

Why think so small? There are tons of deserving judges, prosecutors, politicians, etc out there who suddenly got a lot more vulnerable, especially if you swapped that unwieldy pistol out for an inline .22 with integrated suppressor, the kind that's easily made up on a manual metal lathe.

the utility of a pistol-wielding drone would be sharply curtailed by RF noise emitters being deployed. that's assuming the drones are not spotted on radar.

You're an anti. I can go back and pick out plenty enough evidence supporting this. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.....
