For affordable long range assassination operations. Make it in clear matte plastic, quiet, low flying, add some obstacle avoidance and facial recognition perhaps. Quite a nasty package under 1500 dollars I bet. Could even be ultra small w poison darts too.
You know whats really quiet?
A supersonic missile.
Not getting that for $1500. Why spend expensive missiles on unimportant people? And of course, those leave a sky trail from the point of origin.
Why kill unimportant people at all?
You had me until poison darts!
Shaped 10g C4 charges
Target may be able to duck in time and you'd only get one attack per drone. Maybe a gyrojet explosive tip munition with poison coating for the shrapnel, where the firing drone could time the tip detonation by tracking the projectile in real time after launch. That would be light enough to provide several shots or for multiple targets. With infrared target the jugular. Highly inconvenient to defend against with armor and the projectile will be incoming fast enough such that there's no opportunity to evade, assuming it can get in range quietly. There's a huge market for this. From nation states to divorcing couples
