I use my flying, fully-autonomous robot sentry to guard my parking spot in front of my house, but it's always been bothering me that I couldn't kill anyone with it. Until now.

Now if they just equip it with a penis pump and an iPod Hi-Fi I will truly have the ultimate modern convenience.]]>Mar 1st 2006 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/Mar 1st 2006 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/Mar 1st 2006 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/Mar 1st 2006 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/

Short range, ammo weighs a ton, heavy recoil compared to a pistol caliber sub gun.

The only advantage is the "spray" effect.

Imagine mounting a RPG or TOW missile to this thing. Shoot the helicopter back quite aways. I'd like to see this thing, with that RPG hooked on, to blow up a car. That would be one awesome video.]]>Mar 2nd 2006 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/

Thats cool, imagine extending that thing out of the back when some moron is honking at you. He'd see this giant gun turret come out and rotate toward him. "Oh crap..."
Hehehe :)

P.S. That reminds me of this SUV I saw in a magazine. It had multiple LCD screens and joysticks in the back seat and a roof-mounted laser. Thats what I call fun. :)]]>Mar 2nd 2006 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/Mar 2nd 2006 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/Mar 2nd 2006 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/Mar 2nd 2006 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/Mar 2nd 2006 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/
David, I kind of think that one reason they use a shotgun is because the large pattern probably makes it a lot more forgiving of operater aim, or lack thereof. I'd imagine it might be hard to make accurate shots when aiming via a grainy webcam quality footage. (and that while this little copter is probably getting blown around by every gust of wind)

If I were using this I think a tactic I would try out would be to use the speed of the copter (and relative lack of giving a crap if it gets destroyed) to just do sort of strafing runs at the enemy as fast as possible, pumping shots into them as soon as the copter got within 50 yards. (or whatever was ideal) If they don't want to run for cover and try to shoot at it instead... more power to them.

P.S. Does this thing remind anyone else of Half-life 2 and it's flying bot things? Where the the buzz saw helicopters now?]]>Mar 2nd 2006 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/Mar 2nd 2006 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/01/neural-robotics-incorporated-equips-autocopter-with-12-gauge-sho/http://komodo.fullvoltage.com/AutoCopter_Gunship.mpg
