@drago433

weighs way too much.

pretty much any standard caliber battle rifle rigged with an electric solenoid would work pretty well though.

@igotbored44 i was watching a program about life in the extremes last week, which included some auzzie guys who heard cattle using these tiny copters. the guys where flying insanely low and fast, swerving between tries. apparently, about ten of them die per year, which wouldn't surprise you if you'd seen what they were doing. but each heard of meatbags earns them over a million squids.
