Some people use their knowledge and skills to do good in this world. Others create killing machines.

In what may be the worst idea possible, a few "crazy Finnish farmers," according to the YouTube description, attached a functional remote-controlled chainsaw to a drone. 

They've named their invention Killer Drone, which is a terrible, terrible name for a drone, considering an unmanned aircraft that actually kills people is also called a drone. 

Although dangerous, the engineering on this thing is actually quite impressive, and the chainsaw can turn 90 degrees in order to saw things completely in half. More likely it's just another April Fools' Day prank because this feature isn't actually shown in another view.

Or you can use it head on, and destroy perfectly sculpted snowman instead.

Of course this isn't the first drone to be outfitted with weaponry. In July, a video surfaced that showed a drone firing a handgun
