The choice of the name Pike is just wrong!
In warfare, a pike is an exceedingly long (10 to 25 feet) and heavy weapon made to fend off cavalry attacks, for example.
A better name would be “The Bolt”.

“You want something very precise, you want to have very measured effects with your warhead.”
While that’s true in todays environment, I also think that’s why we aren’t winning as much as we used to.
Our enemies should fear us, it seems they don’t as much anymore.

I think US Special Forces are interested. With good reason: they could use it to take out small pickup trucks frequently used by al-Qaeda and ISIS forces to move insurgents around.

Will it fit my drone and can I fire it from my recliner?
