Oh my, gotta get one of these!

You can mount a rifle on it. Yeah baby! I'm thinking though that the FAA might not exactly want a proliferation of them.

So when will Detroit PD be ordering some??

FPS Russia did this years ago.

I'm sure it wasn't as good, but the idea isn't revolutionary.

I thought flying my buddies drown 1000 yards down range to have as "my spotter" to watch impacts on his display screen was cool. Now we can just fly this thing down range to make hits. Wonder what kind of fire rate this thing could sustain and not be affected by recoil/stability.

If it's a 5.56 (like in the pics) I doubt recoil would be an issue. Mount a .300 Win Mag? Maybe an issue.

Never thought of using a drone for spotting targets at distance. Hmmm.....

First the laser beam thingy and now this? Skynet is going to mow us down when it takes over...

It won't take AI for that to happen. About 70% of the drone market is owned by DJI, which is a Chinese company based in China. They're just waiting for the day that they need to execute the code that gives control of all those drones worldwide to the Chinese military.

considering the recent military block on DJI products for security

Looks like they found a use for all those M231 PFWs.

I'm just picturing the anti-drone drones with shotguns for Air-to-Air, or just cheap drones that Kamakazi into threats.

Actually with the US military saying that they would shoot down drones, a dual 12 gauge shotgun on a HUMVEE turret would we cool. Rock it like a WWII 40MM Bofors.
