I Want: A sniper rifle-equipped robo-copter

Douglas Charles Managing Editor

In the past I have shown you various tools that I want in order to keep people and pets off my lawn, but this is the best one yet. And sure, I’ve shown you a RC helicopter with a .45 handgun attached, but this ‘Autonomous Rotorcraft Sniper System (ARSS)’ is an actual unmanned helicopter armed with a .338-caliber rifle. Yep, a real helicopter. This totally kicks the crap out of that RC one I wanted before…

Now, hooked up to the underside of a Vigilante 502 UAV, the ‘copter handles all the flying by itself while a remote operator lines up each shot using — of all things — an Xbox 360 controller.

I could totally rule the neighborhood with this bad boy. I mean, I kick ass on Xbox already so how hard could it be to master?
