I don't think this size quad is going to be weaponized anytime soon. More likely, they'll be used for infiltration and "on the ground" recon in advance of a ground assault or air strike ... which, honestly, is even more of a cluster-fuck than them firing a pea shooter at you.
They could attach poison darts for use in assasinations. DARPA have these things the size of flies already.
