Default Grenade Drones

It was just a matter of time.


Quote:
Loaded into a conventional grenade launcher, the low-cost 40mm munition was shown off at an arms conference in Florida last month.
Shaped like an oversized bullet, once fired the Drone-40 deploys four rotors that help it stay aloft.
The gadget can reportedly fly for 12 minutes or hover for 20, allowing it to loiter in the sky for ambushes. Multiple drones can be launched at once to swarm enemies.
With a range of six miles and a cruising speed of 45 miles per hour, the weapon is designed to add range and punch to scenarios where infantry would otherwise be outranged and outmatched.
