What are your thoughts on battlefield drones?
@LukeAlmighty either banned by the geneva convention or used by every semi-competent military/security force in at least a surveillance capacity within the next 15 to 25 years
@nukie
I find it almost funny, how most weapons get immediatelly to a phase, where any semi-competent engineer can build them by himself.
Yes, they will be a low grade versions, but still.
@LukeAlmighty to be fair, that's how it's been for a long time now. I do agree though, the speed at which people can reverse-engineer military tech nowadays is frightening.
@LukeAlmighty common chemist? The common person can make explosives pretty easily as long as they shop smart
@nukie
I said several times, that I am quite retarded when it comes to chemistry :D
@LukeAlmighty that's the thing though, you can pick up an old chemistry textbook or ask online. You can just befriend someone online and ask them. It doesn't matter how much you know anymore, anyone can get the info they're looking for if they're persistent enough
@LukeAlmighty true, but what I had in mind was the fact that more people actually get to see those weapons and read up on the mechanics behind them. You know, because of the Internet and the expansion of information infrastructure in general. The asinine showboating most militaries and manufacturers do nowadays helps too
@nukie
Almost makes me wonder, just how accessable explosives are to a common chemist.
(considering, that it's the last part of any weapon.)
