 actually they use a xbox controller as the soldiers said that they are familiar with where the buttons are ect. they use it for spy rocots with camara's on them.

 and the orange tips are on the guns because its probably training, doesn't make it a fake pic

 That's a blank firing attachment or BFA and you need it firing blank ammo so it sends gas pressure to accuate the bolt so your rifle isn't a single shot, Im a gun nerd...

 Ye they use xbox controllers to control drones probably cos they are cheap

 And easy to manipulate what each button does (crazy computer/circuit board programming stuff that i don't understand) and the soldiers are familiar with the controler, comfortable in their hands, etc...

 Why not? wouldn't you rather have a controller you are familiar with instead of some uber complicated array which would take weeks of training to master?

 exactly, and id imagine that developing a new controller which works as effectivley would cost a fair bit, the recessions hitting hard these days...
