    Has there been a homegrown assassination/attempt using drones? They've been used to kill people for decades now but has anyone tried to use one in a credible attempt to kill a politician/other vip?

    Making a fiber optic drone is expensive, a lot of these cranks usually have guns lying around somewhere and it's easily accessible.

    Plus making any kind of explosive is something that could go south real quick lol

    2k bucks is expensive but 500 bucks gun + getting shot at isn't? one needn't do explosives, those are illegal, flying a lead rod at 60 km/h is not (although optic fiber drones are slower to be fair)

    You can't just roll down to your local bass pro and pick up explosives.

    You can't realistically train with explosives. Or if you do it's a lot harder and more expensive.

    and as i've said those are illegal, and how aspiring but not bright people get entrapped anyway and this is a christian forum. you tell me though, do you think getting 200 g lead rod to the dome at 40-60 km/h is good for health

    It amazes me no one has hooked up an AR-15 to a drone yet. They have such little recoil that it shouldn't impact flight stability much.

    They're kind of heavy. You could probably strip a bunch of parts off, though.

    Is a fiber optic drone going to work in a city? That fiber trail you're leaving behind could get broken by traffic or a random person.

    it hangs between the buildings/trees, but it could definitely. mr trumpo appears in golf resorts and political rallies tho, white house is wrong place to try anything, cause it's a building anyway, in the most policed city in the world
