Dr Evil: Sharks with frickin laser beams

this has gotta be a repost...

This modded Bergen Gasser EB remote-controlled helicopter has a handgun on its nose. Yes. A handgun. And as you can see in the video, it can also be fired remotely.

On its own, the Gasser EB is a mean, noisy machine. At 54 inches long, it's equipped with a 34.5-inch (800-millimeter) blade, and a gasoline engine powerful enough to resist the drag of a hefty handgun. Which is precisely what the owner of this beast, Jim Simmons, added to it: A Springfield 1911-A .45 caliber weapon.

Simmons also added a remote-controlled firing system. And if you think that's pretty stupid because the pilot on the ground won't be able to aim, think again: He also added a gun-sight digital camera. In other words: This is a fully-armed mini-UAV, which you can actually use to fly anywhere, aim, and fire at whatever target you want.

Yeah, this is exactly how documentaries about loads of dead people start. Or maybe not people, but polar bears and elks.

Dear Santa,

I didn't get the VP job, but can you please bring me this RC Helicopter with .45 caliber handgun?

Thank you and merry Xmas,

xxxooo

😎 Should make these for disasters like katrina. Program one to patrol the perimeter to prevent looting. That'd be a hell of a fun project come to think of it.

Bah, it doesn't have a little arm that comes out and changes mags.

If you're in one of the "free" states, you can just attach a drum magazine. Although the helicopter is kinda loud, you could run a .22lr conversion kit and run subsonic rounds through it for "assassination" scenarios.

Or just run the RC copter into the person. Im sure the blades can do major damage. 🙂
