That video showed a Humvee with soldiers on patrol. Yet, they “switchblade” wasn’t ready for use, and, it had to be taken from the vehicle and taken out of the bag and had to be made ready, before actually deploying it.
That’s a lot of wasted time, and on the battlefield, time wasted can equal lives lost. Such a device should be ready for use, immediately, just like rifles and pistols. In fact, if they do prove to be useful in the battlefield, then, they should be made part of a bigger weapon system, like a tank, and shot out of a launch tube mounted on a tank.
In the future, perhaps a miniaturized “switchblade” can be developed which will be no bigger than a grenade, and launched out of a grenade launcher. That would then be equal to a “smart bullet”.
