New Robot Copter controlled by the Police can be used to patrol the skies against criminals. It uses - Polidicks

And then a kid was taking a walk with an airsoft gun near a scene of armed robbery and got gunned down by an UAV.

Time for me to make an RC helicopter with guns attached. AIR BATTLES

Must have been a strange idea "Well, we've built this remote copter for patrolling and helping us catch criminals" "Yes, that's all fine and dandy, but I think you're missing something here" "What's that?" "Weapons" "Weapons?" "Not just a tazer, I'm talking shotgun, grenade launcher, can we stick some RPGs on there aswell?" "I think you're missing the point"

Needs a missile launcher, how are we supposed to strike fear into the hearts of those who oppose the western empire with that I guess we could use it on civilians, send that tinker toy piece of crap to the LAPD or something

Bring on the police state.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;31879612]Bring on the police state.[/QUOTE] haha! Rigel! Oh wait, content. Shit. I hope they make the same noise as Manhacks, without the acctual hacking of man.

Looks like they just took some [URL="http://www.airstarintl.com/"]off-the-shelf hardware[/URL] and strapped a camera to it. Not too different from what my university team is working on (except ours will actually fly itself).. Not sure why the whole "police state" rhetoric comes up every time they get a new toy.

[QUOTE=Esrange;31874281]1984[/QUOTE] The helicopters in Ninteen-Eighty Four were for SURVEILLANCE. WHY IS EVERYONE INS THIS NEWS SECTION COMPARING EVERYTHING TO NINTEEN-EIGHTY FOUR?

[QUOTE=CjienX;31874298]Just wait until somebody finds the frequency it listens to and takes control[/QUOTE] I'm positive that its locked and encrypted

[QUOTE=meppers;31888551]I'm positive that its locked and encrypted[/QUOTE] The helicopter uses standard RC gear. Modern systems use frequency hopping to avoid channels with interference. Believe me, years of RC modelers' frustration in losing their planes has resulted in this new reliable technology.

[QUOTE=5killer;31874764]In the article is says it will be used for SWAT and narcotics operations. Do you realize how expensive it would be to have them flying around daily?[/QUOTE] And large, manned helicopters aren't?

[QUOTE=Quark:;31874349]And then suddenly reload[/QUOTE] And suddenly police are dispatched And suddenly you shoot one And suddenly SWAT And suddenly your pellet bounces off there armor, hits you in the eye, makes you thrash around in pain and fall off the deck.

Bad Company 2

Soooo it's a regular RC Heli with guns and a camera attached. BRB, building this.

[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;31890345]Bad Company 2[/QUOTE] If the BC2 heli had a shotgun and grenade launchers I would rape so hard with that thing every round

how long does your killstreak have to be to get it?

lol @ people saying they'd shoot it with pellet guns. You really think a pellet gun would do anything? Full scale helicopters can cut through trees with their blades and not get too fucked up, so this is probably pretty much similar just on a smaller scale. Plus you'd just get tazed, shot with a crowd control grenade, or something similar.

Grenades are probably the riot rubber pellet kind.

And then someone throws a rock at it.

I always love how people never read or intentionally misread articles that contains the police. Especially the part where "police state 1984 you gonna get shotguned" It's special ops, you send one in on a druglord or some shit, not to tase you on your balcony because you were smoking weed too loudly
