People whining about 3D printed guns always forget about the much more terrifiying things that can be made with a 3D printer - like a kamikazie drone.

we used to make our fpv drones out of poplar wood from the hardware store, usually we only used 3d printed stuff for like mounting the camera if we wanted to get fancy

To be fair, you do have to get the explosives some other way. (Not that it's hard to get explosives).

The Australians have a cardboard kamikaze drone. The hard part would be sourcing enough electronics in a warzone.

Can you also print the payload?

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, the payload can just be a spike.
