What you need is a quicker drone able to guide cord in to its blades or just spear it and swipe the delivery

Actually yes this will happen once the pikies know where the Amazon drones ship from.

What a bizarre concept overall. How the heck is this gonna ring the doorbell at number 18 in a block of flats

Fuck the Pikies, I would do it.

Obviously what Amazon need are other drones flying escort armed with say BB gun type of thing.

Exactly.

Now this is hotting up.

Obviously what your first need to do is buy some warrior drones. (By visiting a shop naturally you should order this first wave online, exposing your airforce to attack).

Then whenever you have a delivery coming there will be the armed drones are on sentry/escort duty along the flight path.

Who needs Call of Duty now. £hits getting real over £2.99 deliveries of car wash cloths.

Clever CGI and crafting on the drone? but entertaining.

Very upsetting, putting a drone in a confined space and operated by a knob, recipe for disaster.

If this happens I'm going to order three parcels at the same time just to watch the crash.

However, a MAC11 or an MPG15, a laser pen or sight and a decent lifting Drone.

MAC11 weighs around 1.5kg's
MPG15 2.2Kg's

You could remove the grip not required, also stuff like foresights, rear sight.

Decent field to calibrate the sights and fall of rounds.

On some drones you could even program them to pitch down when firing is initiated.

As I said scary.
