You're gonna want to steer clear of this CUPID. The Chaotic Unmanned Personal Intercept Drone, or "stun copter," can deliver 80,000 volts of pure projectile terror directly into the skin of an ill-intentioned hoodlum. This is serious business for Chaotic Moon, the folks behind SharkPunch and the Pizza Hut touch table. The Austin-based design studio created the flying machine as a tech demo, but CUPID could be quickly brought to production whenever a personal security or law enforcement client sees fit. This prototype unit is based on a Tarot Hexacopter, originally designed to carry a digital SLR for video and aerial photo shoots. With a Phazzer Dragon on board, however, a few modifications made this an entirely different beast.
The objective here isn't to have a copter autonomously wandering city streets, detaining suspects until the police arrive (though the device could theoretically handle such a task). Instead, due to legal requirements, the drone is operated by a pilot, who flies the craft manually, with a second person tasked with triggering the stun gun. Eventually, such a device could be used to aid police in subduing a suspect until officers are able to arrive on the scene. An embedded camera provides a live video feed to operators, who can evaluate the situation before deciding to strike. Since a public park demonstration would likely result in some pretty stirred-up locals, Chaotic Moon invited us up to its Austin offices for a closed-door session during SXSW.

Yeah.
Instead, our “dear Leader” is wasting resources coming after... Americans.
I think an ounce and an eighth of #7-1/2 shot would work better.
The government will declare drones as officers of the law as they do with their dogs. You shoot one down, they do the same to you.

All it needs is a Skittles logo
Is it immune to a 0.500” water hose?..............
I can see how something like this could have taken out Breitbart as he went for a walk.
Ping for out of work viewing....
A meeting with God as in a short screaming visit, or a Hotel California-type meeting with God?
One of the best.
Regrettably, he chose to enter that motel lobby wearing only shoes and a sports coat.
“A meeting with God as in a short screaming visit, “
The microwave beam makes holding onto metal or having metal in your body excruciating. Your fillings would feel like molten metal. So, a short, screaming visit. Or, a permanent visit if you have a heart attack.
First public use will be on those tea-party grandmas who go the US Capital, act violently, spit on black congressmen, and clean up garbage at the same time.
A handful of coiled wire would make a mess of the rotors.
*sob*
Range? Like a hundred feet? you could conceivable run away?
While you’re certainly correct, if you’re engaged with someone on your front and this think blows in from behind, you probably lose.
So would a apeargun. I guess these babies are too expensive for Chaotic Moon to subject to field trials with real people aiming.
“Range? Like a hundred feet? you could conceivable run away?”
It was made to fire from a helicopter at long ranges.
I wonder how long until someone learns how to hijack the device and wait for the responders.
