They can't build a car or a working telephone, but the Russians' latest gadget is a drone with a 10-shot 12 gauge shotgun attached.

And it works.

Even better is that it looks like it could be built in a garage

1. Good time to start marketing my steel umbrellas.

2. There used to be a lot of these gadgets on youtube....

Until the great purge took place.

One kid got into some trouble when he put an actual 9mm handgun on one, and showed it hovering near a target blasting away. He was well under 18 and he designed and built it himself.

There were all kinds of "almost" lethal projects on youtube. Some dropped fruit about the same size as a grenade. Others had paintball guns.

The message was clear. Technology can kill remotely and it would be hard to stop without sophisticated jamming gear. It reduces killing to a video game, and about as dangerous for the attacker.

3. Not surprised. There have always been underground instructions for weaponry...

poisons, explosives, and other good stuff.

Now it's on the dark web, not passed around in anarchist meetings.
