Was going to put this on the "Drones in Suburbia" thread, but thought it might be safer to let sleeping drones lie  ;D

Would much rather the Metal storm answer  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKlnMwuCZso   ;D
or a Vortex cannon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GteGbZeKsOI  . Not practical but might upset the authorities a little  ;D ;D

I think the thing we've all forgotten is that this kid did with a $15 soccer ball. The kids good. I can't hit the goal no matter how hard I try. And it's way bigger than a drone

$15 for a Soccer  ball sounds better & when you get asked how it happened a rife is hard to hide  :cheers:

I agree, but how many people would recognize an EMP projector if they saw one?

Love Wedgies, They're really great birds.

But this is an EMP Generator, a small one.
