    You probably should. Cheap suicide quad copters have a much more difficult time getting into things like basements.

      Okay, but this can’t go through doors on its own either unless it brings an arm buddy.

      Sure, but you don’t just do one or the other. You diversify. If you had all of these coming after you, which would you find more deadly, the dog or the drone? For me, I’d say the grenade drone. You can manufacture a lot of grenade drones for the cost of one gun dog.

        I understand that, but my point was you should find it scarier because it is another tool that can be used, except this one has an even greater ability to get people when they are in hiding. The Chinese aren’t going to give up on cheap drones just because of this, but this is a “there is nowhere you can hide” weapon. That’s really the point of it.

      Just fly it through the window. The concussion alone kills and has the added bonus of dropping the ceiling down and possibly the house if it’s a big enough explosion
