Seems like armed UAVs not longer some fanciful toys available only to the military... [sweatdrop] Adrian, how? Your RC toys capable of doing this? [laugh] But seriously with technology, what's impossible today maybe not be so tomorrow... From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...the_future.html Posted on 25 Apr 2012 Will this be the weapon of the future? Check out the flying machine gun Does this prototype show how wars will be fought in the future? This guy created a modified quadrotor that houses a sub-machine gun, and the end result was nothing short of deadly. This lethal machine has a fitted sub-machine gun that houses a 100-round magazine. The weapon is mounted on a quadrotor that can fly at speeds of 50 kmph and at altitudes of about 400 metres. An onboard camera camera allows the operator a bird's eye view of the target. Both the quadrotor and the machine gun can be controlled with a tablet PC. And, this machine comes with a built-in self-destruct device. So if the gun runs out of bullets, the operator can make the entire prototype explode as a final trump card. Said STOMPer Jeremy: "This is awesome. "You stay at a safe distance and still be able to take out your enemies. "I wonder if it will be adopted by the army in the future."

Credit: WDTN News ( http://www.wdtn.com ) SUGARCREEK TOWNSHIP (WDTN) - A single car crash on Interstate 675 shut down the southbound lanes in Sugarcreek Twp. for six hours Aug. 23. Brennan S. Eden, 19, of Mason, Ohio, lost control of his car and slammed into the concrete pillar of a bridge south of Indian Ripple Road about 7:15 a.m. The force of the crash broke the car into three pieces and Brennan was ejected. Witnesses said moments before the crash, Brennan was passing other drivers at speeds of at least 100 mph. He crashed when he drove off the left side of the roadway while passing a Sugarcreek Twp. police car. The crash was caught on that officer's cruiser camera. "He went down into the median, into the grass, hit the guardrail, went airborne and the car hit the center post of the bridge and literally exploded into three main pieces," said witness Mark Riley. Police said Brennan was alert and conscious after the crash and was flown to Miami Valley Hospital by Careflight where he was last listed in critical condition. "He is very lucky to still be alive at this point," said Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Marty Fellure. "You can see behind me the impact he took and where he got ejected and landed, he's a very fortunate man right now." Fellure said they are still investigating the crash trying to determine the driver's speed and why he was passing cars on the berm. Check the video
