Kinetic energy might be enough to do some serious harm. Or imagine putting a knife in front and via!

But they'll probably buy larger drones, take out some parts /weight and replace it with c4.




You don't even need a knife, you already have several of them - spinning. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2413231/Roman-Piroze... - "... was pulling a stunt with the chopper at a Brooklyn park Thursday afternoon when he lost control and the RC device flew into his head. The blades sliced off a piece of his skull and slashed his throat."


I'd never thought of stabbing someone with a drone. How much pressure does it take to puncture the average human's skin? How fast can a quadcopter fly? How much does a steak knife weigh? We can build the future weapons of war...


Less than you think unless you hit a rib or bone. But if you are really nasty just put pressure operated container that fires a poison into the body http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_umbrella style. Depending on the payload they won't save him even if he is in ER the moment he gets shot.
