What's the best armament for drones? Smart bullets and micro-missiles.
Simply: extremely small devices that are smart enough to guide themselves to their targets.
In the case of the smart bullet, like the one currently being developed by Sandia Labs (video) guides itself to the target using fins + actuators. The current prototype uses a smooth bore, travels at 2,400 fps, and hits within 8" of its target at 1 mile. Here's a picture of one taken at night with an LED attached.
