The crappy thing about it is that innovative civilian uses usually always get passed to the military before they are exposed to the public.

You're.... paranoid, this is military tech. They would not spend the resources to send a robofly into your living room. It's much easier for them to tap on your door and put you in handcuffs.

I agree, purplefuzzybrain, let's rid ourselves of all dangerous things. (Especially those darn toothpicks... you could put someone's eye out with one of those.) Gosh, everyone knows that once the USA destroys all weapons and disbands it's military, the rest of the world will join hands and sing together in harmony with peace and love forever and ever in a new progressive utopia.

Hand to hand isn't even very important in modern military actions any more most deaths are from IEDs,mines and snipers not hand to hand.
Not very realistic ... ( 3 months ago by Membrane556)
Not very realistic also a counter rotating dual rotor helicopter or ducted fan design would be much simpler and more practical then the orthinopter design.
BAE is just full of it as usual and is just trying to get some tax money.
Most of these future weapons vids are BS remember starwars back in the 80s this is the starwars propaganda of the 200xs.

"counter rotating dual rotor helicopter or ducted fan design would be much simpler and more practical then the orthinopter design."
