[–] [dead] stevespang 6y ago ↗ Totally cool, now upgrade the firmware to provide targeting information that integrates directly into US military weapons.This would radically change the balance of power especially in urban warfare.Surely they will soon be able to hover within 2 or 3 feet of combatants to deliver as little as single shot .22 caliper ammo directly into the skull.
