Aw, I was hoping for less than $50k. That's still pretty expensive!

Plus, they probably don't even come with payloads, so that will add additional cost.

Fill it with white powder and the reaction will cause more damage than a bomb would have caused.

Can you imagine the panic a consumer drone would cause if it flew over the White House and dropped baking soda on it.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, one high-profile incident like that would probably be enough to get civilian ownership of drones banned across the country.

$96US to build a 3D printed Stinger shoulder launched missile and now mail ordered drones. Things aren’t looking good.

A drone listing is described in the seller's catalogue as a "cruise missile" able to carry a 2kg warhead 30km

If you're lucky, it'll carry a 0.5kg warhead 10km. That's assuming they don't ship it with any missing pieces.

Hm? They can carry 100x as much payload over more than 10x that distance.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

can't wait for a rich broccoli head YouTuber buying one for a shitty video

[–] db2@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

How much literal shit do you think it could carry to Pennsylvania Ave? Asking for a friend.

[–] rogsson@piefed.social 1 points 18 hours ago

How many Trump diapers can it carry as a payload?
