Seems like a bad idea, just waiting for someone to shoot them self.

As bad of an idea as it is, it's still pretty cool. Wouldn't be surprised though to see remote-activated guns get outlawed if this gets any media play.

Can totally see someone at a hunting camp after a few beers shooting someone.

Interesting the after it fires the drone drops a crap ton. I would guess it being shoved back and maybe a little downward, but that thing almost hits the ground.

And before someone says it, we've had drones dropping bombs for a while now in other countries. Theyre just bigger.

Along the lines of what you said , if memory serves me right, an A-10 Thunderbolt loses 5 knots of airspeed for every second it shoots it's Gau-8 30 mm gun in it's nose.

As slow as they fly it's a real threat to stalling the aircraft if it doesn't go into a gun run with enough speed/energy.

Just thought I'd share that bit of trivia from my old AF days.

Nevermind.
Just checked and my previous post was erroneous.

However, a drone with a GAU-8 30 mm gun might lose some airspeed.

I was holding off, but I guess it's time to buy a nice air rifle.
