- blacksmith_tb 4y agoWell, I am sure that a drug cartel that can produce submarines[1] or drones[2] could manage an RC shotgun bot, but I am skeptical that you'd see them being used widely, compared to just handing a gun to someone? 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narco-submarine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narco-submarine 2: https://news.yahoo.com/drug-cartels-attack-enemies-spread-170948989.html https://news.yahoo.com/drug-cartels-attack-enemies-spread-17...
- rolph 4y agoi think thats because, noone has been aggreiviated,[harmed enough enough to want to do it]. if it became common usage to strap a firearm to a drone of some sort, then that looks like a contemporary use, and perhaps private citizens would commonly use armed drones to patrol property and provide a personal bodyguard.
- blacksmith_tb 4y agoI am sure people would consider it, you're right. Somehow it seems like a riskier step then getting a vicious dog, given that a glitching defense-bot could shoot you or your family, or your neighbors, package delivery people, etc. Also I am not sure too many people would have the technical skill to build their own, so unless they became a product (with serious, serious liability insurance problems...) it's hard for me to picture them becoming popular somewhere like the US.
