Has portable camera tech really gotten that good? Huh.

Second, buckshot can't reach them at their cruising altitude.

So, yeah, sure, no problem.Wait wait wait, I thought it was an observation drone thing.DVS BSTrD said:If they can fly a mile in the sky and piss off rednecks then yeah. Dumb asses think they can intimidate the CIA?lacktheknack said:And why the hell not?DVS BSTrD said:If the government doesn't send any drones to survey Deer Tail, it will be because FUCK ALL happens in Deer Taillacktheknack said:You're implying that, if the proposal passes, the government will send any drones towards Deer Trail.DVS BSTrD said:Let's see how gung-ho these morons are when they realize the drones can shoot back.
And they'd better not pretend they give a shit about government spending when they go out of their way to damage government property. They'll be paying more for the repairs then they will for the licenses. But hey, as long as their tax dollars aren't going to welfare programs for illegal immigrants.
It's called "deterrent".

Are YOU going to send your multi-million dollar bots to a zone where it's legal and encouraged to fill them with buckshot?
You know, the unarmed ones that actually have to get close to be more effective than a satellite.
And you also know that they use these things in areas where people already try to shoot them down, and that they've been operating them in those places for 10 years and counting?
And I thought they were sending the heavily armored combat drones out to the hostile areas.
