The British have received 160 "Black Hornet" nano drones. These things are getting silly small yet capable. Only 16 grams, but 20 minute flight time and an operational radius of 1 kilometer...

Interesting. I wonder if that thing could carry a small .22 cal. "pistol" on it. Maybe have a slightly larger version with 1 round to sneak up on some HVT and pop em with it. Of course accuracy would probably be an insult to the drone and it'd probably be smacked to the ground by the time it actually got an aim on someone.



Leave it to 'Mericans to put guns on anything that moves!

Soon the enemy will develop anti-drone drones and microscopic air combat will ensue like WWI all over again. 'Defence' budgets will have to increase to cope and AH players will be recruited to fight  :old:

The future of the human race will soon depend on who can build the most advanced fly swatter.

16 grams is 0.57 of an ounce. It couldn't carry an expended .22 rimfire cartridge.
