    once they start loading them with self-guiding bullets and proper target recognition systems a small handful of drones can wipe out entire infantry units in matter of seconds

      that's dope. seems like the new paradigm is hardcore AA, EW, long range precision artillery and just waves and waves of men to just die in the field

    Its a stupid idea. Small arms kill very little people nowadays and are mostly about suppressing the enemy or guarding something. Putting blinding lasers on them would be extremely effective in a asymmetric war however.

      Proof that Poltards should run the world. The oldest and most senile minds have the reins I am afraid. They wonder why we won't fight for them.

      Precision weaponary is not about killing vast amounts of people, the idea is to have a single undetectable drone with high resolution cameras that can fly without being detected and once it finds its target it should be able to kill the target and self-destruct.

      It's specifically targeted to a single person.

        A laser does the exact same thing. A blind general or VIP is basically equivalent to a dead one, and there is an additional terror element to it.

    If that's the best the military can come up with than they are fucking worthless and funding should be cut. Pathetic attempt.

    A lot of extra parts on the rifle that add weight. Remove the grip, butt, sights and scope. Expel the spent cartridge down so it does not hit a propeller blade.

    Too heavy, battery range isn't there yet.
    Although latest prototypes add a gas powered radio control motor and fuel reservoir to a generator to keep a capacitor charged to turn the electric motors. Enough to quadruple flight time but then your problem is noise.

      Word. But the whole thing is stupid and it can't even reload. Just make petrol powered drone choppers with literal Minigun platforms. Hell you could make a real gun platform with 2 miniguns if it wasn't some battery powered plastic garbage. This 3d printed nonsense reeks of instability and I don't see a wayfor it to adjust. If it were to hit a target it would have to fly very low. An easy target to remove from the sky and arm the enemy with a functional rifle. Idiotic. I like your laser shit. I wish laser anon was still with us. He would be laughing.

        We're not trying on Levi's captain, there's no room.
        You get to carry a small surprise egg at 100 miles per hour to the combat zone 5 miles away, loiter for 4 minutes, drop it on the enemy, and then come right back before 0% charge.

      Arm them with incendiary rockets first and fire off a servo before sacrificing the drone. No point wasting airtime. Total maximization seems like a priority.

      limited by number of drones, I prefer being able to kill thousands of troops with a single drone

        what if the drones are really really tiny and produce tiny lil explosions when they crash
        and they auto target
        they're talked about quite often on ze internet tbqh

        Shahed and lancet drones have been effective, you've seen the videos where they smash into truckloads of soldiers. The platform for the Shahed can carry three at a time, so artillery guided by drones is better though. That's why I can get behind you on better equipped drones with more flight time, but that makes them bigger and easier to hit so it is a tradeoff. Something like a 'drone' RPG round you could have a hundred of in a truck means its harder to hit on its way to the target. Katyusha on steroids sort of.

          I guess our bar for effectiveness is set to different height, I am talking about wiping out entire armies in matter of minutes

      Some people think that genius is about complexity, people who can be baffled with bullshit. Genius is really about elegant simplicity. Einstein said, “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.”

      All these antisemites say that israeli people only take and destroy. This is a lie. Our modern world would not exist without the massive contributions of israeli intellect, let alone our beloved nation.

        Young Einstein was also a lady's man.

      its because einstein wasnt a genius but a israeli crook who started career by getting job in patent office after his fellow israelite used his connections to get him there after which he started stealing other people ideas
      enstein never patented any independent work unlike tesla who was an actual genius and incel unlike israeli einstein who was just a conman

    A drone that dropped waterballoons full of petrol and an incendiary device would be more effective. Probably a lot cheaper too.

    only low lvl uncivilized chinks or rosskies may think that doing lowest cost posible single use drone to kill enemy equipment with added value ratio greater than 100 is some sort of achievement.
    Nahh we proud peoples of Westeros present you this wonder weapon a 500k $ drone with best IR sights avalible paired with weapon of mass scholars distruption AR15.
    With tax and added value this 1 miionn dolars drone will give you a perfect ability to counter those terrorist in xinjang desert.

    Theres already platforms in development that are armed with guns. Those aren't going away but that's not where things are heading. Small arms are great when you've got men on the ground and are actually occupying a captured area but for now drones are mostly utilized at range in enemy territory for strikes and that makes small arms not very efficient in their role. A platform like that i see being used more in conjunction with boots on the ground with them providing forward recon and protecting flanks laying down supressing fire for a group of soilders or even police moving in to secure and clear an area they're already in. For modern combat against guerrilla type groups without extensive detection methods and antiair interception capabilties the move the they're making is actually pushing the price of production down to the point they're expendable and making them into flying bombs. It's like a missle only you can hover outside where you expect to see the target and wait for visual conformation before immediately flying it in and detonating with full knowledge if the target is present and of any collateral damage with only moments between conformation and the strike. It's been a thing with RC planes since the gulf war and modern drones have only made it more effective and practical. It provides the benefits of a small missle strike at a fraction of the cost with all the control of UAV. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loitering_munition
