Machine Gun -Toting Quadrotor
Dmitri from FPS Russia’s latest video features a questionable prototype quadrotor with machine gun attached called ‘Charlene’. Charlene’s features include four quadrotors, a sub machine gun, 100-round magazine, top speed of 30 mph with altitudes of 1/2 mile high, 1st person camera and the ability to self destruct.The special effect-spiked video, found over at FPS Russia's YouTube channel, shows what appears to be an AR. Drone Parrot wrapped in camouflage and loaded up with a heavy machine gun, blowing apart mannequins and then blowing up a car when it self-destructs.
FPS Russia is a popular YouTube channel run by Kyle Myers. On the channel Myers portrays Russian Dmitri Potapoff as he shoots things with a variety of weapons on his farm.
At the end of this video, Potapoff says:
'It looks like the future is going to be fun, but if you can't wait another 15 years, my friends are telling me that this baby might just be in the next Call of Duty game which would be the shit."
Of course the whole production is just another viral video to promote the next Call of Duty video game...but it was enough to fool journalists at the UK's Daily Mail, which ran a headline : "Death from above: Video of drones fitted with machine guns that could transform the battlefields of the future"....
