[Closed] They've armed it, and given it a stupid name

In some ways I like it stuff William Gibson writes becomes true.

In other ways, not.

They tested it by Zapping the company intern !

Brilliant - how cool is that 🙂

That's the prototype for the star wars training drone.

We need lightsabers to combat this!

Bit expensive for me ATM, but when the price comes down I'm have one.. 😆

You have 10 seconds to put down your weapon....

You have 5 seconds to put down your weapon...

Surely this is good news as it means we're one step closer to sharks with freakin' lasers?

Meanwhile - "Does the news depress you"?

Could we chip in for stw to get one?

Put a gopro on it for footage of [s]Big Hitters[/s] trolls getting zapped at the mods' decisions.

LOL 😆

theres a railgun too

whats the muzzleflash though if its not got any propellant?

If I remember correctly (and that's a pretty big assumption) that's plasma arc from the bits of the projectile carrier and railgun internals, not flame. Well, not really. Well, sort of. Anyway, it's basically shorting a lot of electricity across a sandwich, with two magnets as the bread and the sabot as the cheese. Enough power and a little shove and the cheese flies out the end of the bread very, very, very fast.

There's bound to be a wikipedia entry that explains it better.

Actually, I wish more science was explained using lunch material. Now, can anyone explain String Theory using a scotch egg and a Dairylea triangle?

A drone armed with a taser, they've called it Cupid

Is it just a stunt?

The intern was probably complaining about being made to wear a tie 🙂

Neal Stephenson had this all nailed in the "Diamond Age", drones, a more advanced form of 3d printing (nano technology based) and tablet computers, in 1995.

As a user who's familiar with anagrams and spoonerisms, I got this straight away and chuckled

cats can explain string theory
