Switchblade beats out AK-47 in Gunfight

Post by Keith B »

They always say don't bring a knife to a gunfight, but in this case, I would take the switchblade.

The "features" list at the end seemed to omit the ordnance it carries.

I assume that the pickup didn't blow up soley from having the aircraft strike it with its kinetic energy.

LOL personal cruise missile. I like it. Having flown RC planes, I doubt something that small, with an electric engine could carry more than an M80 for a warhead. Maybe a Shotgun shell or .50bmg shell. Use the engine and battery for shrapnel?

There are types of explosives that are lightweight enough the small aircraft could carry them and they would provide a significant enough explosion to take out a vehicle or a couple of insurgents.

Oh yeah. I know there are bigger planes, with much more powerful motors. I was just commenting on the tiny little thing shown in the video.

Biggest I've had was just over 7'. I'm sticking with smaller planes now so I'm not worrying about a $1500 investment turning into toothpicks "rlol"
