New York (AFP) - The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it was investigating a viral Internet video showing a home-made "drone" firing a handgun in the Connecticut countryside.

The 14-second video called "Flying Gun," which has been watched nearly two million times, has sparked fresh debate about the still largely unregulated world of civilian drones in the United States.

The footage shows a homemade multi-rotor hovering off the ground, buzzing furiously and firing a semiautomatic handgun four times at an unseen target.

It was posted on YouTube on July 10. The device was created by 18-year-old Austin Haughwout a university mechanical engineering student from Clinton, Connecticut.

"The FAA will investigate the operation of an unmanned aircraft system in a Connecticut park to determine if any Federal Aviation Regulations were violated," it said in a statement.

"The FAA will also work with its law enforcement partners to determine if there were any violations of criminal statutes."

Haughwout's father, Bret Haughwout, denied his son had built a drone.

"People have been playing with RC (remote-controlled) toys for many decades," he told AFP by telephone.

"The proper name for this is an RC quadcopter. The media keeps using the inappropriate word because it helps you to generate fear," he added.

Haughwout said the FAA had not been in touch.

"I don't understand why people are making such a big deal of it. It's not like it's anything new," he said.

"He's a mechanical engineering student. He builds all different kind of things."

- Drones in bad light -

But Peter Sachs, an advocate for the safe and responsible use of drones in civilian life, criticized the venture and insisted the device was "a drone in every sense of the word."

A gun-firing, civilian drone damaged efforts to promote the safe and responsible use of unmanned aircraft for peaceful recreational,commercial and humanitarian purposes, he said.

"It shows drones in a bad light," he told AFP.

Sachs, who is also a lawyer, said he would not be surprised if a federal agency took action but said the problem was "finding out which law he may have violated."

A federal violation against careless and reckless operation of an aircraft was perhaps the only possibility, he said.

Proposed rules have yet to be passed and have not caught up with the advances in technology

"Drones are a bit ahead of the law at the moment, they don't fit neatly into any of the existing categories," said Sachs.

Though the United States was a pioneer in the use of drones on the battlefield, Sachs said the US civilian market was "essentially a third-world nation when it comes to drones."

The FAA is poised to miss a September deadline for a final set of rules to govern civilian drones in crowded US skies -- prompting industry fears that the United States is falling behind other countries in developing high-value UAV technology.

In Switzerland, the postal service has begun testing parcel deliveries by drones. In the Indonesian capital, police deployed drones for the first time this year to monitor traffic.

Online retail giant Amazon, which is a major player in the development of UAVs for civilian missions, wants to introduce delivery by drone less than 30 minutes after an order is placed.

It has insisted on a significant change to the proposed US drone regulations, namely a rule that small UAVs can only be flown in full view of their operators on the ground.

Amazon disagrees with the FAA's claim that flying drones beyond the line of sight is a major safety concern.

The Feds will take political pressure if they don't appease the gun hating sheeple, and publicly announce, they'll "look into it"... Knowing full well before they announce such nonsense that their isn't a law being broken... YET, but if the Feds can make it sound outrageous enough... there will be laws restricting armed drones VERY SOON.

As a solution for our safety, we will have to eliminate the Second Amendment and have all privately owned firearms turned in. Please, please write your congressman immediately! Turn 'em in!
