Its the frame not eletrics just the frame

Game of Drones KZfaq gold.

Thanks for the comments. To be fair, if you consider the scale of your comparison in terms of mass/speed/ and other forces of ballistics, it's more akin to shooting a car hood with an A10 Warthog and being able to drive away with minor repairs. And that would be the world's most indestructible car. Thanks for watching and share the links.

Nobody wants to go find a drone so they can perform these minor repairs though, especially not if there's a nutter with a shotgun lurking somewhere nearby. Surely this will end up giving a lot of drones to the enemy that they can then perform "minor repairs" on, replace the transmitter crystal and then use against you?

Marque Cornblatt Prod. how much does that drone you are using cost roughly? and where could i buy one?

yumpaa You can purchase our airframe here: www.gameofdrones.biz Thx!

Toby Squibb This video is a demonstration of the airframe's toughness, not a suggestion of a battle tactic. Thanks for the comments and share the links with your buddies.

ha :D

tv. .0

Its only testing the frame..... Smh

+NS Farm He keeps on using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

+NS Farm russians

lol

they are, but only around july 4th;D

Doesn't matter if it's a .410, there are butt stocks for a reason. Pistol grips are for firing from the hip, like breaching a door or close in fighting. By using that shotgun that way, you're setting an example of something that's very unsafe.

+Justin Westbrook your jaw, not mine

Justin, when name calling starts, the discussion ends. I'm going to block you. This person is another reason why trying to have a meaningful on KZfaq is pointless. Too many keyboard warriors here.

+Walter Grace Keyboard Warriors shouldn't be people who can use dumb insults. They should be people who know how to speak correctly and have a proper, civilised argument. That's what it should mean; not necessarily what it does. :)

Agreed

Westin S Yes, you are correct. The shotgun does have a pistol grip, it is painted, and I am a professional. Thanks for sharing your keen observations. Don't forget to share the clip with your buddies.

+Westin S Ohhh!!! That sarcasm backfired!

+✈ SamNetwork ✈ lol SICK burn! Send that sad excuse for a shotgun back to Borderlands or sell it to that gang from Chappie and get a Benelli! You know, like a real professional ; )

+Westin S Someone's butt is hurting...

+Westin S I've been shooting guns competitively since 7 and that made me cringe lol.

Haha gomod one

They're testing the airframe,not the internals.. Your logic is that plastic can't withstand water? Hmmm.

If you just sprayed the motors and electronics with corrosion-x then it would be completely fine and would fly out of the water again even when totally submerged :P

MrOvertSandStorm Well someone has watched some flite test lol!

MrChaosflying haha yes! love a bit of flite test! Peter and his little tricks ;)

Buckshot would be really tricky to land unless you are using a large bore shotgun with a crap ton of #4 buckshot or something.

A steel BB load would take it down with a shotgun.

To be fair that's the wrong kind of shotgun and ammo for the job, but he wasnt really trying to destroy it✌

+Muhammad Steinberg Indeed. This thing isn't indestructible at all. He should have used a reinforced steel frame to begin with.

+ChaosManticore how about titanium frame stronger and lighter but more expensive :/

eggrollsoupnova2000 Certainly. But unless they want to spend a lot of extra money on this prototype, I doubt it would be a good idea. Even if you make the frame more durable, the rest of the craft has weaknesses.

+quietthomas its about the frame, which did sortof get wrecked by the first shotgun hit

@quietthomas @felix is right,it is about the frame

Thanks for the comments. As you can see, I also know a little about guns, and this shotty in particular. I find it amusing how the people who miss the point of this airframe test are always people who insist there is a bigger gun or better ammo load. The point is that this airframe can not be destroyed by any means that a drone would likely encounter. Most airframeswould have been destroyed in the first 15 seconds of this clip. My airframe has been surviving this abuse for over 3 years. Thx again and share the links! Guns & Gardens Ep. 13: Mossberg 500 Ballistic Test

Marque Cornblatt Prod. I thought the purpose of the test would be to see if the drone could withstand being shot at be angry Americans who don't want drones over their head. My apologies if that wasn't the point of shooting at it with a shotgun, and thank you for admitting you didn't REALLY try shooting it down with a shotgun designed for shooting things from the air.

bulbinking The purpose of the entire video is to show how reliable our airframe is against damage and abuse - well beyond what would be expected while flying a drone. The gun in this video is being used as a tool for testing, not as an object of lust. Why doesn't anyone ever complain about the quality of the window panes we used in our testing?

Marque Cornblatt Prod. Oh believe me, that was next on my list of obnoxious critiques! ;)

bulbinking Yeah us Americans don't want drones flying over us. Watching our every move and seeing if we step out of line.

***** my car tire isnt claiming to be to indestructible..

***** Matt didn't claim that it was destroyed, but that it was broken, as it was, and had to be repaired. By your definition destroyed means "unable to fly". The drone was clearly unable to fly after being shot. He had a valid point so tone down the arrogance.

+Fuck You Google "Destroyed" means broken beyond repair. Key words: beyond repair.

SwaffyX I completely agree, notice I was reiterating Andy's definition (after pointing out that Matt never claimed it was destroyed, just broken) in order to highlight that he shouldn't be such a smart-ass when he's contradicting himself.

+Andy Wilderness wow.... so rude...

this is my video i have watched from you. but do you have other videos more about this drone. about its structural make up and electronics. have you built this your self or has it been modified?? thank for the video.

Now hit it with double ought buck. That should do her.

Game of Drones you should take tons of little drones like this amzn.to/1HQDIte then shoot them all out of the sky or take them out with the supper drone

Game of Drones was that buckshot or birdshot in the shotgun?

It was probably target loads. Maybe #8shot

not sure the heart breaking part is needed. its just a chunk of metal an plastic. not like its alive.

Um, what? I find your writing a bit scattered and hard to follow.

Marque Cornblatt Prod. i'm saying that the first shot nearly destroyed the drone, and they fixed it as good as new, and commented on how well it flies - even though they had totally re-built it. and then there is no evidence that the second shot even hits it because they don't show anything, they just expect you to take their word for it. basically, i'm commenting on how they made a video about how well their drone fares against a shotgun blast when, in fact, it doesn't fare well at all. it gets destroyed.

H. Krishna Thanks for clarifying. First off, it's not "them", it me in the clip, My buddy is using my Mossburg 500 in the test, and yes, we do strike the drone twice on camera (about 4-5 times in total, but only 2 clips made the edit). Although we sometimes use the words drone and airframe, we are really only meaning the airframe - that plastic monocoque clamshell part - THAT is the part we made and are testing. The fact that props and other parts were damaged is part of the test, but the idea that the airframe can actually keep functioning ( and offer some level of defense for the components) is the point of the video. In fact, this exact airframe, with many of those same parts, is still flying today. This durability is at the core of this project, and there is no other airframe anywhere that can match it's performance. I hope this helps you understand our intentions a little better. Thanks for the comments.

Marque Cornblatt Productions but the motor and things like that were encased in the airframe so it really didnt make it through the test

Have you seen any of my earlier videos? That should answer your questions...

Marque Cornblatt Prod. Just 3 of the more recient, why? Have watched any of my videos? You could have left a link to the video(s) you are referring to, instead of asking a redundant question.

Collegiate Match Fishing No, I prefer my viewers to be informed about my work before criticizing it. I also expect them to do their own research instead of expecting me to spoon-feed it to them. However, I suppose THIS link would be sufficient to answer your original question. Thanks for watching and don't forget to share the links with your pals. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdqhZteDp5vZcp8.html

Marque Cornblatt Prod. So you need to build weapons platforms to qualify to shoot down quadcopters, lol? Hell, there's a peta video where some hunters shot down their quad spying on them, I guess they weren't qualified to do that, better send them a courtesy note explaining they violated professional criteria, LMAO! Still got a laugh at out your videos, thanks for sharing.

It would never have got as far as the child, it would have been embezzled and resold by a ruthless government official - corruption in those countries is out of control.

shame on you,kids in florida could have bite off that drone

oh you're turkish. Probably jew jokes then, huh.

Would it be ok for me to make fun of your english? You can make fun of my turkish. I don't even know the first word.

Have you thought about donating to charities that help children in africa? I bet you haven't.

Watch Ryder Really...? That is your take-away from this video, that somehow the tests weren't tough enough? How about this video, where all we do is hit it with a bat and smash the airframe into concrete as hard as we can... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJ11o9Og2czVaGQ.html

LOL. I seem to ruffled your feathers a bit there. LOL. Don't be so sensitive, I saw your other videos but for that test there was no concrete drop. You know what you have to do...

Watch Ryder Not ruffled, but I answer these type of comments a lot. The impact of a freefall onto pavement is a decent test, but flying at full speed into walls/windows is actually a much better test, since the impact at full speed is so much greater than the impact from freefall. The drone can't even reach terminal velocity, since there is too much drag and not enough height. But thanks for the comments and share the links!

I was foaming at the mouth thinking the same thing. I'm so tired of people calling multirotors drones...

What is the difference between a drone and a quadcopter?

Alexei Lipov spelling ? Drone today seems to cover anything that can be flown remotely..

Definition of "Drone" from the dictionary: 'a remote-controlled pilotless aircraft or missile.'

because average joe blow doesn't know what UAV means. there's worse problems in the world than this.

Nope. We got that covered here: Drone Torture Test #3: Water Cannons and Splashdowns

Guess I spoke too soon then... can you make it amphibian? :D

Lucky you. you can buy our airframe here: www.gameofdrones.biz

will there be a manual on the site of all the parts you guys use to build one? and a step by step tutorial (just in manual not in video), because i'm just 16 and don't really know how to build such things. but would really really want one of these =D. so if i got the air frame i still wouldn't know "How to". will this be available?

I don't have an account on kickstarter but I'll make one and buy if you answer some of these questions. I noticed the $625 is an RTF without radio/battery. Does this have the APM 2.6 or 2.5 on there that's featured in this video? Is that included in the $325 kit?

do u know it's illegal to steal Chuck Norris' personal vehicle?

KILLERESKU cs If you stole Chuck Norris' personal vehicle, the legality of it would be the least of your worries

Victorian Spectre Good one.

Not true. Most airframes cannot be repaired after you shoot it. They will be a total loss. Our airframe is practically unscathed. Parts are just parts.

Isn't the airframe a part itself?Marque Cornblatt Prod.

falloutbr I'm not sure what your getting at.... We make airframes. Those airframe survived our tests. I'm sorry if you think this video is trying to prove something else. Thanks for watching!

KnucklesProtector What exactly is illegal?

Yea. There are designated places to shoot handguns. It's just a disclaimer guys jeez

Chris Garza

shmeet There is nothing illegal at all.....at least if you live in the United States. I build RC devices and shoot them skeet style for target practice all the time. In fact, you can target shoot just about anything non living as long as you own it.

***** I didn't say it was illegal.

Well done sir!

You have it backwards. The helmets that you refer to already exist and are in use. We took military-proven ballistic materials (ie. bulletproof plastic) and re-purpose the tech for our airframes. Thx for watching and share the links!

So what i said is still true? I don't know what you mean backwards as it's a vice versa statement. I only typed it one way round for the sake of efficiency. But Anyway, It's still true right?

Marque Cornblatt Prod. bulletproof plastic, bullshit.

Will you?

:D thx likeing my post i've never got that before

Ok ash how is PikaChu?

James Thomas wahhah XD

+austin phonisay kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p92Xq7yBsp2uooU.html

lol its a mossberg 500. not a bb gun. well sorta, bird shot is bb's

Too me it look like a BB gun just saying

+austin phonisay do you know anything about shotguns? or the types of rounds?

+austin phonisay It's the shells. All shotguns operate with nearly the same velocities with slight differences based on barrel length. The type of shell used was birdshot, which is meant to be shot from further away because the bb's spread the further they fly to increase the impact zone. This test would've been better from 20-25 yards so the bbs could impact the entire drone rather than just a wing of it.

Americans will shoot at anything new or different.

Marque Cornblatt Prod. I think it has more to do with the camera mounted on it. People don't like being recorded without their consent. If they only knew how thoroughly they are being monitored in their everyday lives... Cool video by the way. I've been looking into DIY FPV setups and it's awesome how many resources there are for this stuff online. :) happy flying

Thanks. Take a moment to share the links. And don't forget, they're for sale now too! www.gameofdrones.biz

Spoken like a true noob. Thanks for the comment. And share the link.

Marque Cornblatt Prod. No thanks, don't want my friend's and family getting ripped off on this piece of crap..

bobrusable No worries. Enjoy the AR Drone. Thanks for watching and share the links!

bobrusable U radio shack shoppers and crack me up! I bet half the things in your house has "AS SEEN ON TV" stickers on them haha.

Oliver Jones How did you know.. Top quality stuff bud.

Useless? That is an interesting perspective. Please elaborate...

You made a quad that's heavy, killing the flight time, you made made something cheap expensive with no good reason, and you made it bullet proof to protect 50$ of commonly available electronics. The purpose of a quad in a combat zone is to substitute something precious like human life with something cheap, maneuverable and easily replaceable. Fail!

qntt2002 You sound pretty confident about your info regarding my work. What is the weight of my airframe? The flight time? The cost? Compared to what? I have those answers and you do not. But I'll give you a little heads up... This airframe replaces ones that are easily destroyed and offer zero protection with one that is lightweight, inexpensive and offers durable armor that can withstand an amazing amount of battle damage and still function. SInce it will almost never need replacing, I fail to see the "fail" that has you so convinced. Perhaps if you're in the Bay area, you can attend our next drone fight club with your best combat drone. It would be fun to let this discussion play out in the aerial combat arena. Thanks for the comments and share the links with your buddies.

Marque Cornblatt Prod. my dads bigger than your dad

No doubt about it! But mine is smarter ;)

+Sam Estron ...

Like a well made saddle, it has flex without suffering structural integrity.

Hey you live on that Dutch/French island in the Caribbean right

Thanks! We'll have UK distribution soon, but until then they are available online here: www.gameofdrones.biz/
