That has to terrify the FAA, Secret Service, FBI, CIA, NSA and all the other alphabet agencies. How long before the bad guys try that?

Even they YMCA is concerned.

Is anyone really surprised? Match this up with one of those plastic 3D-printed guns and you'd really have something.

Can we start a pool on how soon someone builds one of these and shoots a family member? I give it 6 months

Not to worry gentlemen.

From the terrain - it looks like my neighbor. I told the SOB if his kid buzzed my house with one of those again, I was going to test its durability against a Remington 12 ga.

Well, time to be pro-active. Hopefully ...I wont have to kill the entire family.

Damn those Hatfields!

A natural progression of course. I'm also surprised security agencies haven't made and effort to get ahead of the curve on that. Maybe they have but just not made it public. Drones present some real security threats when you thing about it. All these reports of drones in the paths of airliners are a worry. In this part of the State, air tankers servicing fires have had to be grounded because of them flying in the area. The stupid asses doing that will mess up things for those who want to use them for legitimate purposes when the old government comes down hard with extensive restrictions.

Isn't that the the SOP?

I already hate to see them at the national parks buzzing around. Soon it will sound like a swarm of mosquitoes at all the parks.

The next evolution is pairing it with this guys system and you've got a **** show.

You can probably run the targeting software off a Raspberry Pi these days.

It is a no go for manned aircraft as well.

Of course making it illegal will stop it just like illegal drugs.

I'm sure there's legislation against going nuts in a movie theater with an automatic weapon, too.

^zactly

For decades now, I've been concerned by how easily a programmable cruise missile could be built. Rocket science is even easier now.

Good thing that most people are not looking for mass destruction. (Muslims, aside)

People hunt from helicopters all the time, no problem there. That includes weapons mounted on some form of gimbal.

My comment wasn't about gun laws, it was about being stupid and putting it on YouTube.

That video is very fake.
Though, FPSR is legally a firearms manufacturer so he gets to play with all the fun stuff.
