    'Hey look guys, funny popping penguin!'

    'Yeah, how cute! But why does it smoke ike that, a little birdie must got ill.'

  • Oh good, patrolling the border with deadly munitions... I like it already!

  • @thirtyminuteslater While true, a redneck could defeat this. Not many combatant troops carry 12 gauge shotguns loaded with birdshot :)

    Camo netting would defeat it pretty well though. it only weighs 6 pounds.. just stand off the explosion like the old torpedo nets.

  • 12 gauge = game over

  • Lets see it hit a moving target. Its easy to knock a straw man down.

  • It appears that this is a good deal of smoke and mirrors. The munitions part has a some crude editing and appears to be anything but a precision solution (which is what you want in something that explodes). This aircraft flies (way) to slow to be effective. I'll resist the urge to be a music critic.

  • Sweet... Very useful - As a former Army Combat Engineer (12B), I would feel better working a tasking with this little bird along for some serious overwatch!

  • @MichaelMitchellM Thanks for the reply. I wasn't thinking about Somalia. I was kind of hoping we could stay out of conflicts like that all together. Seems like it's just kicking a bee hive when you enter a war with Asia, Middle East, or Africa. England did it only to be bankrupted and having to sell out to German bankers. I'm not crazy about foreign wars, but then again my paychecks don't come from selling offensive anti Somali truck weapons.

  • @corvanphoenix I understand that full well. I also don't think that way because getting out of Irag and Astan is even better than blowing up the guy planting the IED. I like the idea of going back on defense instead of all these offensive wars that never seem to end. It just seems like we're pissing in the wind. Our CIA put Sadam Hussein in power back in the 1960's. We've done the same to support and train Al Quida to fight the Russians. Seems we create our own enemies. Is that wrong?
