If they make em commercially available, they'll have to put a disclaimer about not jumping off your 1 story roof with it.

Id like to know more. It may look cool but Im not convinced its a good weapon yet. So far from the video it just looks like a fancy bat man costume.

For one I dont like how it just suspends you out there under the canopy. It descends far too slowly and leaves the enemy a lot of time to shoot you out of the sky. Your just a sitting duck.

Id like to know more about what its distance glide ratio to altitude is. I would feel better if I knew an aircraft could drop me 25 to 50 miles from the DZ, so I could fly it in stealth and silently at night.

I like the weapons carrier. Thats a good thing.

That was a poor video and showed you nothing IMO
