Hey I know physics. What goes up, most come down. :)
Seriously, how strong is somebody with 10 STR? Then how much does
the drone wiegh, with LMG's attached? etc etc.
Besides a knife thrown to impale, a drone to crush. Different applications
of force. But that is another set of rules to check. (Since I liked
the idea, and plan on using it. Figured what is the shock value of
a dragon swooping down, picking up a car and tossing it :))
Good luck on the Assembly, been there, done it, and I still haven't
used it. :)
