Reply to comment by nagrom7 in Australia quietly expels major Russian spy ring, report says by diabolical_cunt

Just speaking of names, I hope Australia names their weapons after their animals. There has gotta be something with the EMU acronym but they have such a variety of deadly creatures that It would be interesting.

That or just make a drone that drops snakes. I dunno get creative with it and shake things up.

The koala population has taken a beating with bushfires and logging :( and they're pretty lazy, just sleep and eat most of the day.

Probably better to send the drop bears

Kinda like koalas but their diet includes meat and fruit which is higher in calories so they're much more active. They're still slow and clumsy on ground though, so they wait for prey in trees and then jump from there. Generally stay pretty far from cities though

If you're ever visiting Australia you will need to know that drop bears can and will kill you. Particularly tourists.

They were gonna sell the EF88/F90 rifle in the US civvie market as the "Atrax", which is the genus name for funnelweb spiders.

The Loyal Wingman Australia has developed is called the Ghost Bat.

I was just like "they should send some drones named Drop Bears" but then I was like "fuck it just send some drop bears." Imagine the reactions of the Russians who hadn't even seen indoor plumbing before they stole a Ukrainian home.

Put ‘em in a little helmet that says “kill ‘em all” and give them tiny cigars. You got a marvel movie right there.
