Rapid re-stabalization to avoid crashing after making contact is the biggest hurdle. It's kind of a stupid idea though since it puts the drone in harms way. It would be better and easier to equip them with a .22 zip gun, or better yet, have it do bomb runs.

solar cells don't produce nearly as much power as you think they do.
and quadcopters--while being entertaining toys--are pretty much the least-efficient type of heavier-than-air aircraft you could have.

It could work for some of the wall-hanging drones. It would hang on a wall around a place the target regularly frequents without having to worry too much about the camera and computer depleting the battery while it waits.

Shotgun tbh. Maybe a suprise attack could work but all these quadrotor drones can be taken down at 100 yards with some birdshot. A large spread could hit 3 or 4 if they fly in a close formation. Armour would make them too heavy, it has been a problem for aircraft since they were first used in war. You either fly really fast and pray or skirt around and hope for an opening in the defence. Terrorists could probably pull something off against an unarmed, unsuspecting target. But there are better ways if someone is defenceless.

How would you even weaponize consumer-grade a drone? I cannot imagine attaching a gun to a flying object to be very accurate. Not to mention the weight of the gun. Maybe you could rig the drone with some explosive, have it drop on the target and blow up? That would also destroy evidence in the process, but your drone would be destroyed. There is also the problem of facial detection accuracy, it would be too easy to kill the wrong person. And of course there is the chance that your drone will get shot down before it reaches its target, especially if it's in an area where it is not allowed to be in.

>I cannot imagine attaching a gun to a flying object to be very accurate
Why do you need a whole gun? Why not just a single muzzle loaded barrel with electronic ignition? Barrels by themselves are pretty light and can be made even lighter if they don't need to withstand high pressure from larger cartridges or multiple uses. Couple this with the fact that the drone could be programmed to compensate being bucked as part of the aiming process.
Fighters in the middle east are already using them to drop explosives. A modern hand grenade only weights about a pound which is within the payload range of any drone that normies would strap a go-pro or a smart phone to.

And since you already have to know a lot about the current movements to keep the thing in the air nothing prevents you from using that info to stabilize the gun.

By designing a bomb bay based around a substance that explodes on impacts and with high enough explosive power to kill people if they're hit semi-directly even in small enough quantities for a single drone to carry a dozen or so loads.
IIRC, there was a liquid like that, only problem was that it also explodes when in contact with metal. Or air. Or light. Could probably get around it by putting a few drops into tiny black glass ampules.

Inaccurate and expensive is what it is. What would be more practical is to have something that would absorb the recoil enough to prevent shit breaking. Maybe something like having the gun gently held in place, but also suspended on a string. When the gun fires, it's released and the energy is dissolved in a pendulum-like swing and easier to manage.

Forget the facial recognition, all you need to do is pre-program a flight-plan and fly the thing (with explosives) into a target location. VIP will be at X at time T? Boom. The key would be to make it capable of flying in radio silence, that is, without relying on GPS or RC control signals. I'm surprised Israel hasn't started using this on various targets. From a security perspective, I really don't know how you defend against this. Especially if you get right above the target at a high altitude and either drop the payload or descend rapidly with it.

Blades are made of metal, and metal is heavy, which requires stronger motors, which are also heavy. Theoretically it's possible sure, but it'd probably be pretty big, bigger than the manhacks from HL2. Not to mention that without something to gain leverage from, once the blades hit something, they'd cut a bit at first sure, but then they'd just kinda bounce off, lose stabilization, and fall to the ground and break,
