Wonder what that costs?

To me that looked staged,especially the taunting at the end.Why didn't they show the bullet damage?

Could be. One blade did stop and it came in hot but I don't know if the controller could have killed just one.

Heh, wouldn't that be funny if there's proof that it was staged?

That thing was to high up for a shotgun and on the second flight the camera angle was different,and when they were yelling at the guys in the woods why didn't they film him.i heard them say "i see you walking away".

Airspace isn't private property.

Navigable airspace is public property, yes. However, in most cases "navigable" is defined as 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a 2,000-foot radius of the aircraft (FAA).

The airspace immediately above your home though, is private. Someone can't just go hovering an unmanned drone 10 feet above your patio all day.

I doubt this is real. Live shoots have been outlawed for years. I shot in S.C. when I lived there ten years ago. Live shoots were history then.

That's what I was thinking.

1st rule of drones: Don't start surveilance of others who are actively using GUNS...D:

That must be why we don't use drones in Iraq and Afghanistan!

So, exactly, what did you shoot? Them damn duck appear deaf to my BANG,BANG.

Hell, we shot anything that moved and still do. Unorganized, of course. Copters.......

Nope. They required huge number to initiate courtship and mate, so it was too late when people realized that even hundreds of thousands was too few. Even if you could clone enough, there was probably a massive non-genetic but required "flock nurture" culture that is missing. That obviously predated the mating instinct that evolved genetically to fit the massive flocks of ten billion.

Its begun...

I see a future where floating drones straight out of star wars that will watch the world. Whole television stations will consist of reality footage of war, ghettos, celebracy, and on and on.

Ironic that the gunners are the first to encounter the not to distant future. The massive, monstoruos military war complex and its infinite resources will lead to a surplus of drones and other technologies. Already farmers have drones in their skies dealing with their petty squables. Combined with the orwellian social websites and exponential cell phone technology the gun within 5 years wil be a obsolete relic. There won't be any gun controls laws, the gun will simply be a burden to burdensome.

In years to come your daily commute to work will consist of a virtual hud from your google cellphone goggles that will list everything you want to know about complete stranges on the street as you walk by tem in real time. Their name, age, race, relationship, education, felonies, licenses, Netflix queue, and oh yeah do they have a gun on them...

Shoot em while gottem folks!
