Title: A well armed Quadcopter
Post by: JuST Peter on March 10, 2014, 07:58:59 PM
Clever, these Russians

Take a look at the video link below and watch it in full-screen. Some fellow has created a remotely controlled quadro-copter fitted out with a 100 round machine gun. Watch him as he has fun blowing up mannequins and cars.

It is all done with a touch of humour but the reality is that this fellow has created a very lethal killing machine that could be remotely controlled and come into your yard, or house and kill everyone there. Then fly away or self-destruct.

Reminds me of the old saying, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you."

I'd say this is a good reason to keep a shotgun handy:

Holy cow!!  That thing is appalling!
I just wonder how the quad copter handles what must be powerful recoil.

He's obviously got plenty of money, if he can write off an expensive device like that to prove his point.

But did he really blow it up????

It flew into the car, and car blew up but was there a break to remove it first.  Obviously have explosives in the dummies, cos stuff doesnt explode when you shoot it, petrol cans sure dont..

I call BS! Quadcopter flying is CGI. Good video non the less.

I find that easier to believe than the proposition that a light R/C device can carry 100 rounds plus the machine-gun plus a camera.  I still say the recoil would flip the heli so only the first bullet would go where aimed and the rest would be in an arc below and behind the heli.
