Drone with Block Video

[Cherokee Slim]

I remember some time back seeing a video where some enterprising young man hooked up a Glock I think, to a drone and showed it firing.  I'd like to find that video so i expect someone here knows where it is.  Imagine a Las Vegas Metro PD drone with a chain gun, or a semi auto .50 bmg from Barrett homing in on those hotel windows.  Armed drones patrolling high above a crowd may be the future of events like these.

Those things are going to be hard to kill when they turn them on us...

Imagine the sky filled with them, like a giant net no evil doer could escape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I find it telling that some of the wealthiest and most innovative people in the world are decrying the rise of Artificial Intelligence. If you think ATM cards and the 'Grid' are bad, imagine what happens when 90% of American homes are automated in the near future.

Now imagine trying to defend against these. They could be produced so cheaply that they could be used as a kinetic weapon or loaded with a small payload of explosive.

On the other hand, imagine the destructive capability of a few drones outfitted with ballistic capabilities and piloted by a small group of terrorists or other evildoers flying over a large, outdoor festival or other, such event.  They could strike from above, move quickly from one part of the crowd/festival to another and do a lot of damage, both directly and through the chaos created when people trying to flee don't know which way to go.  The drones could be equipped with explosive charges so that when the ammo runs out they could be crashed into the crowd and detonated or, perhaps worse, detonated at head-height among the crowd.  Even worse, they could be equipped with cameras so that the terrorists/evildoers don't even need to make themselves all that visible.  Carry out the attack, explode the drones, smash and ditch the controller and walk away.  Greatly reduce the chance that they would even be caught - at least not until having carried out several, such attacks.  Yeah, not at all a pleasant thought.

I find this, combined with artificial intelligence, a much scarier scenario than little rocket man, emp charges, zombies, etc.
