Note to self: Design such a system.
WOW! Thanks very much for the article link, here again:
New Scientist Technology Blog Shotgun-wielding helicopter - New Scientist
There's also quite a nice video at the link
The AutoCopter can fly forwards at 60 mph and sideways at 35 mph and its gun has a range of around 90 metres. The next version will even come with thermal and infra-red night vision cameras
So, instead of catching a cold and exerting oneself while chasing various types of varmint, you can be FReeping at 2AM with your Offcial Free Republic Cocoa Mug nearby in the comfort and safety of your home while simultaneously patrolling your property for pests and dispatching them to the great beyond in between your FR posts.
Technology is so wonderful. "sigh"
Note to self: Design such a system.
According to the article, "cyber-hunting" is only illegal in approx. 25 States, so if you're living in one of the other 25 States ( or 32 if you're using Zero's 57-State math) then you 'might' be okay....although under the current "administration" the Constitution has been pretty well shredded so I'm not making any guarantees on this. You'll be on your own.
It’ll be strictly for a ‘rainy day’.
Yep Yep Yep ......Spend a few weeks a year myself helping farmers and ranchers eradicating the feral hogs. C-Mag’s and M1A’s are my favorite tool for such duty.
There a season for wantons here ????, any recipes aside from that chinese buffet in Amarillo ??........:o)
That said I love folks that insult and they get all fluffed up when responded to in a like manner.
Fun fun fun!
