Fill me in on your expertise at range design?

As a former Army officer and OIC at tank gunnery ranges (and now NRA-certified instructor), we had to clear a range fan of 50 kilometers. I'm used to looking at every conceivable ballistic outcome. 30.06 maximum range is roughly a mile. I'm pretty sure most people here don't own a mile downrange and still manage to shoot safely.

If there is a single human habitat in the range fan, I want to know about it, even if hitting it would necessitate firing over a ridge, which is the case. This seems like an ideal application for drone use as I can use an app to generate a search pattern almost automatically.

Going off topic but if you are building a range the NRA's "Shooting Range Sourcebook" is the bible. $20 on CD ROM.

2 year old google earth data to check to see if you are shooting the direction of campers. Irresponsible.

You said you want to fly your drone, THEN fire onto public property or private property owned by someone else. Irresponsible.

I suggest that you buy enough property so you don't endanger innocent people as a responsible NRA member,

Put your money where your mouth is.

Someone firing onto someone else's property is something you support? NRA guidelines prohibit irresponsible, illegal behavior.

He never said he's going to fire into someone else's property Tom. He wants to see what's out there if something would go stray. WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR ACCIDENTAL FIRING.... The airport does it for airplanes. Shooting ranges do it for bullets. Golf courses, not so much. :rolleyes:

You have no business doing that and it is a violation of the 4th amendment in my book. Violating constitutional amendments is a slippery slope.

The 4th amendment covers search and seizure, not Mrs. Kravits.

Won't be long before drones are hunting other drones
I took this pic a couple of weeks ago while exhibiting at the Taiwan Air Show in Taipei. Lots of military UAV stuff. Very cool! Machine gun on board. Imagine this... your drone is taking fire... what do you do... self defense? Protection of property?

No he didn't say that he would firing on public or someone else's property and incriminate himself. But why would he be be using a drone to see if there is anyone there if were his property?? Please answer the question. Do you support firing upon someone else's property. being public or private?

I am sure glad I don't live next a peeping Tom like you.

I hope that everyone realizes that this is fake. It would take several dozen quadcopters of that size to carry a weapon of this capability.
I don't know if this particular video is a fake, but I have seen in person similar weapons.
