I can't see that anyone in here has posted this (if they have i apolagise).

I've just seen this posted on a DJI thread from another forum. Quite simply incredible!

How long before a quadcopter like this, armed with a small pistol and a single bullet, assassinates any political leader who dares to venture outside.

Unfortunately, history has shown that when a machine is capable of doing evil, it is inevitably used for that purpose.

Lol as with all things these days it is safe to say that if its been displayed in the public eye, the military will have been developing it for years before so i take your point. Lets face it you could amost already do that with a phantom!

With quads as intellegent as this the applications are huge though. Hell it could fly you a beer from inside the house to the garden without spilling a drop! Lol
