Libyan Rebels Weaponize Power Wheels Toys

Posted by samzenpus on from the play-time-is-over dept.

Danny Rathjens pointed out a story about the DIY weapons created by Libyan rebels. One of the more interesting is a machine gun drone created from a Power Wheels-style ATV. Rebels outfit the toys with a small cannon and attach controls via long wire. A solider can hide while he uses a small television and simple controls to move the vehicle and fire the gun. A similar system is also outfitted to a toy truck with a machine gun on top.

    Ever step barefoot on a 1x1 in the middle of the night on your way to the bathroom?
