‘Weapon of the Future’?: Check Out to the Quadrotor Drone Equipped With a Machine Gun

We’ve seen a lot of quadrotors — those drone-style helicopters — flying in pretty elaborate formations, which could almost be considered creepy, as of late. But put those quadrotor dances in context with this next one and they don’t hold a candle in terms of fear factor.

The creator of the FPS Russia YouTube channel has a new video that, within a day, has gone viral with more than 1 million hits showcasing a quadrotor drone equipped with a sub-machine gun. Without a formal name prescribed for it, he goes with “Charlene.”

FPS Russia Creates Quadrotor Weaponized With a Machine Gun

This is Charlene, a quadrotor equipped with a machine gun.

The host of the show is clear to state this weaponized quadrotor is just a prototype that he considers a “weapon of the future.” Even as a prototype, he shows us that Charlene is still fully functional. See for yourself (content warning: strong language):

As you can see, the quadrotor is connected to a control held by the user to allow them to fly the machine and also have a view of what exactly the drone is seeing. The operator is able to use Charlene to take out dummy targets on a hill and even shows how it’s mobile enough to make it through a make shift window. Ensuring Charlene doesn’t get into the wrong hands, the operator zooms her into a car, which he then blows up — Charlene included.

Gizmodo speculates that it’s only a matter of time before weapons such as this are a reality. What do you think? Is the U.S. military working on similar designs?

      Why wast words on this crap. Did you not see the blue smoke coming from the fake people. That was a gun powered type explosion. A machine gun would not have caused them to exploded.
      Plus did you see a camera on the drone junk, no?

      Hey Liz, I have some water front property in AZ to sell. I think you would be interested in it.

      After the cold war the equipment found that was being use for the Russian missile system was so junky. It would have taken a miracle for half of it to work.

      I usually never criticize the Blaze but this time on this post, it calls for it. I hope The Blaze doesn’t really think this is something to worry about, this is a Youtube video that was placed with other funny videos.

      Ditto – digital fakery at its best. Plus the “machine gun” hanging down from the device is so clearly fake, there isn’t a belt feeding it the ammo.

      Plus the explosions are the result of the target compound he uses – when hit with a bullet it explodes. Nothing special.

      If the ‘copter is even capable of carrying the payload , this is disconcerting. This is a claimed prototype. rather than discredit this video, consider the possibilities. How about crowd control? Rather than a machine gun, how about a six shooter? Rather than ONE – dozens or hundreds. In the realm of military/arms spending, these things would be cheap. How about an explosive payload?

      Even if it flew thirty seconds, it could be a devastating weapon.

      I’m extremely skeptical of this video. The ‘gun’ on the drone is a barrel attached pretty weakly, with no apparent mechanisms (chamber, firing pin, ejection port, etc) or even a magazine. My guess is that they had someone off camera doing the shooting, and then patched it up with CGI. I seriously hope that no one thinks that the targets exploded because of bullets, which I consider a trifle, because it was so obvious.
      But the concept, I think is real and I think is logical. It would be just a smaller version of an armed predator drone. It isn‘t all that different of a drone we’ve seen before (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/want-to-see-the-armys-new-mini-suicide-drone-in-action/). I think it would be hard to take down, if it was military armored drone. Shotgun pellets wouldn’t likely have enough penetration or strength to destroy it (expect maybe the blades, but again, depends on the armor), and being as small as it is, it would be a harder target than a human. Also consider the idea of it being airborne so proximity effect would not help (ricochet, explosive rounds, etc). The softest part of the target would be to hit the pilot running it…

      Um, got some bad news for ya FFTRYANNY, it is not as far fetched as you may think. The camera you can’t seem to see for some reason is right in the nose of the copter and you can see it plain as day. It’s actually quite large compared to the majority of cameras used in model airplanes these days. Also, the copter itself reacts exactly as is should if it were firing a gun in the way shown. The muzzle blast is exactly where it should be when looking through the camera due to it’s placement. He fires in short bursts to prevent loss of control of the copter, as would occur during a sustained burst. My guess is it’s a 9mm machine gun, with a 100rd magazine fed system. As far as lifting the payload, the design of that copter could easily lift the necessary weight with that amount of thrust to weight ratio. Oh, and as far as the “Fake People” goes, Duh!!

      But we already have large drones, and real gunships, and smart weapon systems to handle the big stuff.

      The reason for these little guys is their small size, and being to go places that the big boys can’t.

      It‘s definitely fake but at the same time it wouldn’t be hard to make something like this. The only problem I can see is accuracy. You can strap a machine gun to any number of quadrocopters we have on the market, rig a remote trigger and program a tracking system but keeping the device from moving too much while shooting would be very difficult.

      I’d like to point out, while indeed fake, lack of recoil on the drone means nothing. We have cars with sesors that can in milliseconds detects bumps and compensate, creating smooth automobile rides.

      Some properly coded stabilizing gyro’s should do the trick, epecially when it has little to compensate for.

      But I’d also like to say, while even mount a mechaine gun? Why not just a nail bomb with a kamikaze drone? Strike a human target, surrounded, and go off on impact, spraying nearby persons?

The shooting came from off camera and there were explosivie charges in the dummies that explode when shot.

      So except for the gun on the quad everything else is real. I’m not going to say that an actual working gun cant be attatched to the quad but in this video that one was not working.

      That guy was down in Columbia buying Vodka drinks for our Secret Service, Marines, and Air Force. He introduced his Russian sisters to all our SS agents guarding Obama. I though I recognized him in the video footage.

      Yea, you are right, they are all white. Obama and Holder will be giving these away to the Black Panthers and other of Obama’s domestic military units. The Black Panthers will use these to stop white voters.

    fpsRussia is great! Check out his youtube channel. He is the highest payed youtube partner, every one of his videos had at least 1mil views. For those of you who think it is fake, its not. None of his stuff is fake. the only thing that is fake is his accent. He is a 25 year old named kyle meyers from Georgia.

      While the Quadcopter, pyrotechnics, and flying are all real – the “machine gun” strapped to the bottom is simply a barrel assembly off of an AK – there’s no receiver, no drum feeding the weapon, just a black tube coming off the back of it, i.e. it is not a functional weapon at all. Sorry dude – it’s fake.

      Yes, it is fake. If you look at the flight characteristic of the vehcile, it has no source of thrust to move the way is does. Look closely at the turns. An airplane must bank in order to turn, a helicopter- even a qaudcopter, must orient itself (the rotor) to general thrust in a specific direction. This is a really cool video, but reminds me of a “B” movie on the Sci-Fi channel

      The 3D targets are packed with tanerite, that’s why they explode. It’s completely legal to purchase and will explode when hit by a bullet.

      For the record, it is real. The explosions you see are caused by an impact triggered explosive inside the dummies. This guy is not actually Russian, he’s a filthy stinkin rich Texan who demos weapons on his YouTube channel, FPSRussia, and adds his Russian schtick for entertainment value.

      At least someone besides me sees that it’s fake. The concept is real, and the guy did a really good job at this video….but there are things missing for those with quick eyes and common sense.

      Can we spot them?

      @ Swancman

      How is it fake?
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      For instance:
      1) Where are the spent shell casings?
      2) How can four small electric motors lift 100 rounds of brass and lead, and batteries?
      3) When was the last time you saw a muzzle flash that big (if at all) coming from a real gun?
      4) Where’s the shadow of the vehicle in the first engagement on the hillside?
      5) Where’s the down wash of the smoke when it goes through the rotor system?

      This is just a video of a guy with too much free time on his hands having some fun with movie making equipment. Nothing evil or sinister about it.

    Pretty neat, except for that nagging thought in the back of my head that the gov‘t might use it upon it’s OWN people. The way the Military is cowtowing to fringe groups lately…

      ‘Fringe Groups”? Do you mean ‘political correctness’ as espoused by the Democrat/Progressive/Scoialist clique?

      Hey RAZOR, YOU and DRAK. What would a Ron Paul supporter know about what the Military does or doesn’t have? Unless you consider a Code-Pink anti-war protest sign on a broom handle a weapon, lol. Sorry, that’s right… you’re all highly trained Military strategists and war Vets.

      Time_2 is a liberal, loves to quote Locke, the father of classical liberalism.

      “If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.” – Ronald Reagan

      ‘Scuse me, but we hade remote control drones in the FIRST Iraq war. Not the flying type, no, but a 4-wheeler ATV type with a TOW missile, an M-60, and an explosive-fired brass plate projectile that we used to breach heavy armor on T-72 tanks.

      Proud veteran and Paul supporter, respectfully. Time_2 knows not of what he speaks, and therefore should use his mouth for eating.
