      It's scary. I'm former military and this would be a perfect hunter killer drone. Scale it up to the size of a crow. Give it small grenades, ping-pong sized "eggs". Imagine a programed version of this thing hoping or flying around on battlefield. A "case-less" .22 pistol inside the robot would make it perfect for hunting people. BTW, those "eggs" could be programmed to explode in a certain direction. That's a shape charge and can knock a small hole though tanks. I'm not that smart. If I've though of this then it's 100% under development.

    So it's like a modern metal gear.

    It can jump like the Metal Gear Ray, it has a tail like the Ray.
    Since it can not hover I would not compare it to a drone, right?

    Gads what an efficient drone. Take the basic concept, scale it up to something like a crow in size, and imagine its "egg" being a hand grenade. The bloody thing could fly to a combat area, hop around on the ground, and then deposit a bomb. This is a very scary robot and hunter killer.
