Geoff S Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Another YouTube video sent to me on FB by my nephew. It certainly makes you think! At least it makes me think. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Fry Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Have a listen to the professor speaking at the end. He ain't a Daily Mail hack trying to make a lie sound like the truth. We are only a step away from those technologies at that size. Except shaped charges, that is the damage 3 grams does. And just to get you to sleep, tell me a weapon mankind has developed and not used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bran Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Get real, Accidents at work killed 137 in the UK last year, and road traffic accidents causing death or serious life changing injury in London alone exceeded 2000. Worry about Drones? I think NOT......................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 OK Dave, just a bit of change. Now go back a bit, to the days, 50 years ago when normality was someone died in any major constuction project. And have a look at road kill rates then. Take care what you discard as a risk.

Nigel R Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Although the video is being "somewhat" sensationalist, the major technologies that he names are all out there PatMc. On the other hand, I don't see that these things would be particularly difficult to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatMc Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Posted by Dave Bran on 15/11/2017 20:25:15: ... road traffic accidents causing death or in London alone exceeded 2000. Not according to the government figures. There were 116 fatalities but the number of serious injuries are not given for London. However the total fatalities & serious injuries are given for the UK as a whole, the ratio of fatalities to serious injuries being 1 : 13.45. If this ratio is applied to London then the fatalities + serious injuries would have been be 116 + 1560 = 1676. But "serious injury" does not mean "serious life changing injury". For example it includes fractures to arm, collarbone, hand, leg, ankle foot etc as well as other injuries that had previously not been included in previous years.

There's a huge difference between the major technologies being out there & them being put together as one practical working package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Colbourne Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 As soon as someone combines a multi-rotor drone and a recoilless pistol (yes they do exist), they will have a weapon that can get past most forms of security. A drone dropping flechettes (steel darts used in the first world war), or even ordinary darts, would mess up the day of anyone who gets in their way, and there isn't a great deal that could be done about it if the drone is quick about it.

Don Fry Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I am happy to provide entertainment. As a source, the professor has not got an idiot resumé. Drone why not. As an ex police officer I can see that a tactical fire arms advisor would give his hind teeth for a bucket of them. That alone gives you a legitimate market. ICMB, is in fairness a delivery device. And the point for my post about past casualties is largely irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
