Handgun-firing 'drone' built by US teenager

Post by Whiskey 7 »

I was going to say 'only in America' but in reality it could have been created anywhere :smirk:

Would you give points to the constructor for the build effort?

The US Federal Aviation Administration says it is investigating an online video that shows an alleged home-made "drone" firing a handgun in the Connecticut countryside.

The 14-second video called Flying Gun shows a homemade multi-rotor hovering off the ground, buzzing furiously and firing a semiautomatic handgun four times at an unseen target.

:olo:

Had to happen. Without seeing what it is shooting at, hard to say if it has any sort of aim worth considering. Looks pretty inaccurate though.

I think microdrones delivering lethal injections will be more of a problem in the long run.

Agreed. I too thought inaccurate but someone will add an SMG (small machine gun) or an explosive device soon enough.
Devilish use of the technology >:) >:D
