This is great! For me, it was interesting to see the reaction recoil.

Very interesting! That's quite a payload too.

very funny guy...biggest trouble I see is that even Stovie could have taken it out without stretching Tanks barrel any before it got into the range he was using it at.

Personally, I would sooner send out a bunch of these than having ONE of our soldier killed.
It could be the perfect sniper of the future, It can lay still anywhere for a long time, and strike from unexpected angle..

I don't think he had a means of aiming it except for watching where the rounds were hitting the dirt. The computer screen view is a great concept, but he should put some cross hairs on it, and maybe back it up a hundred yards or more. Wonder if a larger caliber would break it apart. He could always just drop some bombs instead, but the thing is so obvious and vulnerable it could be hit with a shotgun and probably obliterate it. Would love to play with it!

oih thats what I said too!!!!
there was a fella in Timaru doing photos of your home etc with a RC chopper the results were really good, heck at the speed that thing was flying it would be a simple thing to take it down with a shottie a rifle should do it to as long as it wasn't being flown to erratically.

There is a gun club in Dallas TX that does a live dove shoot every year. The anti-hunters were upset and sent a drone overhead to get footage of the even. There drone didn't last long enough to capture anything plus they didn't get it back. They were upset but didn't get much sympathy, even from the news media.

Conceptially the use of a drone with explosives is a pretty scary situation, they'll have to become more stable as a firearms platform, but as a remote controlled bomb? They certainly have the ability and with some of the nut jobs in this world Im sure someone will try to use one, me thinks a large aircraft on takeoff sucking one of those into a turbine would cause some issues.

radar, you just scared the &*(^ out of me. I would suggest erasing that thought. Then I'll erase mine. I would hate to see this be a seed for some lunitic.

That's ok SlimJ I'm sure the media will propagate some lunatic ideas for them to ponder. They always seem to be on the bad guys side with the what-if scenario ideas, feeding them something extra to think about. The media seems to be like a think-tank for loonies always telling them where we're most vulnerable and how tragic it would be IF. Right now they're only thinkin about delivering pizza (and beer).

Yes a lot of BS, but still very cool.
This guy needs to team up with a good computer geek to develop an infrared/heat source targeting system to be more effective. I really hate wasting rounds. I am a real advocate of one round one kill.
And, I never play porker with gas cans on the table, it would just make me think about mowing my lawn and not poker, strange.
But, I could see myself sitting on my Lazy-boy with my laptop slaughtering the hordes of liberal zombies coming over the hill.
