I’ve always wondered how difficult it would be for someone to build a diy version of that, and how much it might cost. Just browsing online, this off-the-shelf hybrid drone is relatively cheap at $16k and has a 7h flight time + 5kg (~11 lbs) capacity. That seems like enough to carry a lightweight semi-auto rifle with ammo and have a little room to spare. Someone could also maybe use something like a Jetson Nano ($100) for identification/targeting based on uniforms, facial recognition, etc. So I’m guessing it would be a little under $20k (assuming it actually works) which isn’t exactly “cheap” but is frighteningly cheap enough for a lot of people to have their own killer drone, provided they can get it up and running correctly. You could maybe even make a smaller and cheaper drone with an airsoft or paintball gun just to test the concept and harass your friends/family/neighbors, which would be pretty fun.
