New SWAT Mini-chopper

I could make the same thing for half the price of whatever their charging. Still, it's kind of cool.

 

[redneckmedic]

Does that require a smaller or larger tin foil hat? I'm so confused on how that works.

The federal government is broke (and still giving grants for this) and many states are broke.

Why is this sort of expensive crap even being discussed?!??!!?

The STORMTROOPERS are coming out with new ways of controling the masses

Because wire tapping is illegal!!

Figure out what band they work on, it would be almost trivial to brick one. Their transmitter is way over there. Mine is right here. It only takes 3dB to capture the receiver. You ain't tazin me, bro.

 

[BumpShadow]

I think its to save money. Use this instead of a even more expensive helicopter. Still, for like 300 bucks I could make the same thing. Just one Xrep cost like 300-400 bucks!

 

[gunman41mag]

Can it take a hit from a 12 gauge, just saying

 

[Naptown]

that thing is sweet. Yeah, any round would compromise the flight of that thing!

 

[Hoosierdood]

The drone also has the capacity to carry 37mm or 40mm grenade launchers and or a multiple shot 12 gauge shotgun.

If it weighs only 50 pounds, would it even be able to handle the recoil of a shotgun while still remaining airborne? What a waste of money.

 

[public servant]

I bet it can't kick a door in though...

 

[radonc73]

Take over the freq and it is all yours? Taxes paid for it so I would say yes.

Probably not. But, just as when you shoot a K9, you'll probably go to jail forever for killing a police mini-copter. THINK OF THE SERVOS!

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Yes, the servo's! Brick it with a jammer. When it falls down, whack it with a hammer, then strip it for parts. I paid for them, they're mine anyway.

 

[Archbishop]

OK I get the right implications, but I just want one mess with.

I'm just sayin'.......anyone familiar with this movie or any other one like it?

I think it's "They Live" with Rowdy Roddy Piper. I watched that movie a lot in high school. Great stuff!

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Definitely "They Live". A lot of funny moments, but at the time, it was like the creepiest movie I'd ever seen for some reason. The fight over the sunglasses was classic.

Ultimatly doesn't this come down to the typical fund receiving type of organization? Spend what you're awarded or you don't get as much next year. If they weren't developing this type of wastless spending, how could they possibly get more funding next year. It's the evolutionary growth of govt by relying on funding from taxpayers for the next three letter department. It's a snowball effect requiring more and more reliance on the .gov for future survival of the masses. What's good for the gander is trump over whats good for the actual goose, actual human (and constitutional) rights be forewarned. Those rights, are not a priority anymore, if they ever actually have been. Is the development of many of these projects the result of military design and development, yep, I'm sure of it, and it's actually pretty cool in many ways. Does this type of development have any place in the civilian environment, nope. Hells no. One right at a time, they're taking it from us. And the sheep, they just keep on a sleeping.
