Doh! What a let down!
Well, I'm not really sure what to say about that video. To be on the stuffy side, it does serve to bolster the fear argument against "drones." On the other hand, I'm pretty impressed with the ability of the pilot to aim it and hit anything. Was that a rat shot round aimed at the phone?
Watch it again. I think there was only one scene where you actually saw the aircraft and the target in the same frame while the shot was fired.
I call BS on this video. It can be done, I just don't think it was in this case.

The pilot of the drone was obviously not Lord Monkey and couldnt hit the side of a barn. The way it was moving around on the "hover" it was obviously not using a KK2 board 
. Teach it looked like Rat shot which if aimed at a watermelon would leave a few tiny holes, not blow it in half like in the video. I call marketing BS, and bad marketing at that as the product was for a protective phone case?
Anyone want to give a guess as to the reaction of a quad, six, or tri if you shot a .357 or .45 from it? I think the recoil would send it flipping back like something you would see in a Road Runner cartoon.

I have to agree with you guys. BS on this. I did not use my powers of critical thinking on this one. Doh!
Now that you mention it, I would really like to see how a quad handles the recoil from a .357. I think it would do some nice flips!

. . . and That's the point "cool idea" switches to "dangerous idea".
And that's where being a "responsible adult" battles with what one REALLY wants to do!
Big brown truck dropped by for a visit!
But nothing for me.
You might need to take that credit card away from your wife. She seems to be getting daily deliveries...
I can't find my wire harness to charge the LiFe in my TX. ARRRGGHHHH!!!! The damned TX won't stop beeping at me. I've rigged up a half-a$$ed harness to get a charge on it and its working, but WHERE IN THE HECK DID I PUT THAT STUPID LITTLE CHARGING HARNESS?????
It's in the little plastic tub with all of your other odds and ends wires.
That's where it SHOULD be. I was organizing the other day. I should know better by now.
