So, is it ok to arm my RC helicopter now?

[NoJoke]

The world is getting more bizarre every day.

There was a time, I might imagine some government conspiracy in the USSR of listening to people over the telephone, reading every computer keystroke and remote drones in the sky with cameras and weapons....but that's Communist Russia, right?

Those sorts of things would NEVER occur in land of the free.....

Looks like a target to me...

It's great until one crashes and
1) starts a fire,
2) hits a baby and kills it,
3) malfunctions and fires its weapon randomly,
4) has its gun and/or ammo stolen [if so equipped],
5) is never recovered,
6) all of the above.

Looks like I'm gonna have to step up my rifle marksmenship.

[REH]

That would be a hard shot..................but doable.

considering using rubber bullets and tear gas on its drone.

Sort of arming.

I would think that any remotely fired firearm would get some attention from the BATFE. Better just to have it drop stink bombs and such...

Take them down the old school Japanese way. Kamikaze it with a cheap RC plane. Oopsie.

Skynet, it's closer than you think.

Skynet, it's closer than you think.

Yea , quite freaky to imagine what the Brave New World has to potential to look like in 10-20 years

I always thought that having drones and advanced AI mobile weapons was a bad idea as anything can be hacked. So what if the weapons we design get turned against us? Then I saw this trailer for the new call of duty black ops 2 trailer. Kinda chilling if you give it some serious thought.

Wow. We had this required book to read in high school called 1984. Yea, private high school. Seemed so extreme at the time, but now look just about 30 years later and we are a lot closer.
