Stealthing these things is a sensible idea, as your common perp will not think twice about swatting these things, and even once about swatting an armed one. I doubt very much we'll see armed variants serving in warfare (see above) or in countries such as my own lovely UK, where currently the Government still tries to show a life-friendly front. The real cause for concern with these would be Covert work, but then, why would you get much more complex than filling the casing of one of these with plastique and neurotoxins. It would be interesting to see what these could be armed with, whilst keeping them small. I'm currently trying to arm an indoor blimp with Nerf rockets, so I found this rather interesting.
