So if you've ever seen the TV series Dark Angle with it's police spy killer hover drone you'll recognize this thing. Apparently this is called the Autocopter and it is an unmanned mini helicopter except that now they have added a 12 gauge shot gun to it. This video of it flying around on manual control (and apparently with a tether) shows it testing out the new shot gun mount. First they have it stable on the ground and they fire a single round and then a burst. It does get a little bit of a kickback while on the ground but when they take it up into the air and do some more firing tests I don't notice any kickback. How long until these things are flying around in a city near you with face recognition software ala Dark Angle? You can find more textual information about the Autocopter here.
