Well it's a matter of time. The first time I saw saw these suckers on amazon and on the shelves, I was sure I wasn't alone in foreseeing their weaponization

A buddy who just got back mentioned they are now modified to shoot small arms as well. I am not as concerned about ISIS using them....but the precedence.

I wager our embassies, facilities, etc. are not drone-proof.
AWG and DARPA better come up with something fast
