Business Insider: An 18-year-old mounted a gun to a drone and fired shots in the middle of the woods
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a 15-second YouTube video showing a semiautomatic handgun firing shots while mounted to a hovering drone, according to a statement from FAA spokesman Jim Peters.
The "flying gun" footage, uploaded by YouTube user Hogwit, was traced to 18-year-old Austin Haughwout of Clinton, Connecticut, NBC News reports.
"The FAA will investigate the operation of an unmanned aircraft system in a Connecticut park to determine if any Federal Aviation Regulations were violated," Peters said. "The FAA will also work with its law enforcement partners to determine if there were any violations of criminal statutes."
WNU Editor: I can see the military applications for such a device being used in urban areas and in war-zones where enemy fighters are deeply dug in.
