Watched it the other night. Definitely kept you on the edge of your seat. Wondered what a Barrett M82 chambered in BMG .50 would have done to the predatory robot.
The only thing that made this so scary was the Britishness of it all.
One break-top shotgun and 2 shells.
If this was the american landscape there would be 100 lives lost and a real-life video game ending 48 hours later.
I thought the same thing...a .45 ACP would have been sufficient.
You do have to wonder how such robots would commandeer a factory to self-replicate. Today’s robot factories are extremely highly automated, so you DO have robots making robots. Maybe one day, when they suddenly become sentient, they lock the doors and kill all the workers. But the factory still has to receive power, water for cooling, oil for operating the machine tools, and raw materials. It seems trivial to cut off all raw materials and supplies from a factory that has gone rogue.
Could such a thing actually happen? Maybe the factory robots are in secret cahoots with the materials delivery trucks (self-driving, of course), the mines, the mine trucks and draglines, the refineries, the rolling mills, the power plants, the water works, etc. How fast could all of these facilities begin operating as one? It’s interesting to contemplate, but I’m highly skeptical that all these diverse systems could eventually get coordinated and decide to wipe out mankind.
not much can stand up to it. I read an article about the browning machine gun mounted in warplanes. they used to sink ships with them. 1/2 inch steel plate can be penetrated and tracer rounds start fires
