The bad guys are using them in all sorts of activities. Ain't technology great ? :roll:
A scatter gun could not touch one at 1k feet.
Well, most RC stuff has to be "Line of sight" for the operator, although there's a series out there that are flown by the image on your iPhone or iPad. That's becoming "Ho Hum" technology now . . and in some of them, you can put a second camera that will work back to a second control source (iPad or phone) . .
But, again, the pilot(s) who would use them to spy on people are human, and like the coyote, must, usually, have a second look . .
That's when that ole varmit rifle and a 12 power scope would pay for itself, wouldn't it? And counter-battery on a 3400fps bullet is nigh unto impossible . .
This is all theoretical, of course . . .
