I'd say, what if the govt gets a wild hair to do this?

Oh wait, they already did...

Further into the video - drone racing - now that seems a fun use...

Now that's some amazing, frightening and scary stuff right there!

It just dramatic, I have two full size quads. The shooting part is no different then someone holding a gun. It think it is just propaganda against drones, they don't want people to have them and the gov want to have all the marbles, not the citizens have any. They probably feel a little threatened by them.  We have had remote cars of a type and planes and helicopters, and suddenly, drones are an issue. You could have done the same thing to remote wheeled vehicles or even remote boats. nothing has ever happened with them.   So the way I see it, its just more negative hype. If they keep hammering us long enough, telling us they are bad, we will eventually start to believe it.  You can make bad things out of anything. They are cool to play with!!!

It is illegal to shoot anything from an RC aircraft: guns, rocket, any think explosive. The FAA is trying to find the source of that video, so it can fine the operator of the multi.

That video has been out for a couple years, it's faked.
