Whilst this seems cool. You won't be just throwing this. This will be a controlled item and you'll need to recover it, so eventually someone will lose one and then tears. Lots and lots of tears.
The idea is to throw this in instead of sending a person or a dog, reducing the odds they get hurt or civilians are unnecessarily hurt. And we keep costs as low as possible to reduce the tears (but honestly the camera is usually ok - pretty tough)
