How is the explosive used in the slaughterbots scenario different from what you can buy by the box in cartridges of bullets? Those aren't exactly highly protected even in the USA.
I imagine e.g. just tying a bullet to a drone, without the structure of a gun around, it isn't exactly going to be effective. But how far off would it be?
- lazide 3y agoIt’s a decently large difference. A couple oz of C4 is amazingly effective, no casing required - but an additional couple oz of ball bearings or a copper cone will make something truly scary.

The casing required for any nitrocellulose based device to do anything dangerous at all will exceed the weight of both of the above and be barely a firecracker. Fragments will be limited in velocity too. High explosive vs low explosive.
