Flying Guns – The Feds are gonna have a field day with this!

The Daily Mail out of the UK released an article entitled “Terrifying video shows home-made drone ‘made by a teenager’ equipped with a HANDGUN opening fire in the woods” Excerpts from this story and the video are below.

It is interesting to note that they also released a story about a Russian’s invention entitled:”Death from above: Video of drones fitted with machine guns that could transform the battlefields of the future”. By the way, I highly recommend his his videos if you are into guns and prepping. He goes by FPSRussia and claims to be a “Professional Russian” LOL Here’s his channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/FPSRussia

Clearly the Russian has the American beat hands down, so I’m not sure why the American handgun drone was referred to as “terrifying” in comparison, but see what you think. What does the future hold with citizen drones?

Update: We have been told that FPS Russia’s video may be cgi / animation, however, we have not been able to confirm this.

• Footage uploaded online shows drone hovering with semiautomatic pistol
• Robot can fire at least a shot every three seconds while staying stable
• Thought to be the work of Austin Haughwout, 18, from Clinton, Connecticut
• FAA officials have said in the past that any armed drone are illegal

The 14-second clip appears to be the work of Austin Haughwout, an 18-year-old from Clinton, Connecticut, who runs the YouTube account to which the video was posted last week.

Both handguns and this type of drone device are widely available in the United States. The drone appears to have been equipped with a mechanism to pull the trigger on command.

Footage of gun-bearing drones were posted online as early as 2012, when an unnamed enthusiast attached a machine-gun to a much more advanced drone than the one seen in the latest clip. (This is the Russian’s version and the video is quite comical. I am sure some would actually consider it terrifying.)

In 2013, the Washington Times reported that an FAA officials told industry leaders: ‘We currently have rules in the books that deal with releasing anything from an aircraft, period.

‘Those rules are in place and that would prohibit weapons from being installed on a civil aircraft.’

He was apparently referring to part of the FAA code labelled ‘dropping objects’.
