I was also disappointed the article was not about personal drones being modified to kill. It's going to happen, sooner rather than later.

- outworlder 12y agoThey already are deadly. Those spinning blades can do a lot of damage to a person. Just check drone forums. All instances that I could find were accidents. So far.
- bbradley406 12y agoHaving seen a video[1] of a drone armed with a paintball pistol (and its precision), I would say that it will be much sooner than expected. Despite the fact that I'll probably be put on a watch-list for saying this, it would be the perfect crime. There would be no weapon left at the scene (provided the drone returns to its base), as well as no DNA samples. Anyone who could rig and pilot such a drone would probably be smart enough to leave minimal evidence related to motives, purchases, etc. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jplh7uatr-E&t=138 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jplh7uatr-E&t=138
