I don't think it would be too hard to add a "self-destruct" feature (suicide helicopter)

With improvements it has potential. UAV's have a real future in civilian applications including LE. Add high intensity lights, night vision, thermal imaging and video. Take an improved R.C. helo and a Cop could sit in an office and provide air assistance to ground units in pursuits and searches at a fraction of the cost of a real helo. A train derails and may be toxic? No problem, send in a sensor equipped UAV to inspect and analyze the scene. A logical step is armed UAV's. Imagine them with recoil compensation and laser guidance/aiming/stabilization systems. They could go where no sniper is able to go.

With technological advances, they would be quite practical.

Full auto!! I wonder what its capacity is?

I love how a 3-round burst fires 5 rounds.

"No problem", though.....

Damn Skynet rising...
At least it's not all creepy like that pack mule thing...

I think the "full auto" was just the actuator pulling the trigger multiple times

Cool, but is it even slightly accurate?

How about goose hunting!?

I bet it could drop grenades too!

Look for the FBI and ATF to start using these when they "visit".

Man this stuff has the potential for really becoming scary, shades of Terminator. Imagine that thing chasing you down a alley!

Neither did the Wright flyer.

Let's just hope it doesn't become self aware.

Good way to breach doors without anyone having to stand behind one.

Cool. Why risk fighting the zombie hordes in close when you can instead just use your shotgun-wielding heli-drone to fight them instead?

Seems a littele 'late' since dropping Hellfires from UAV's on top of Haji's head is yesterday's news....

Any excuse is a good excuse to combine RC Helo's and guns in my book btw...
