This Machine Gun Robot Will Probably Lead the Uprising One Day

This is the future of warfare or at least part of it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

There won’t be any army or navy or marines. Just robo-weapons.

Next it will be drones with machine guns.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[PLMerite]

Beats the heck out of that mule with the M60 in "Maximum Overdrive":

Skynet model - early form.

Not to worry. John Conner already taught us how to defeat them.

At least until jamming technology becomes more common, at which point they will become completely useless. Which could more or less happen overnight in today’s world.

Unless they increase the size of the magazine it will be of limited utility. I am guessing maybe 200 rounds at most in that magazine. About 30 seconds of firing time.

It will also need human beings to change out the barrel on the machine gun.

A New Border Patrol unit!!!

[NTHockey]

There will ALWAYS be Marines. Some body has to do the jobs that even machines can’t do.

[Davy Crocket]

ROBO COP.

My goodness.

Thousands of drones with machine guns could do a lot of damage.

Especially to civilians.

[Hugin]

Then they’ll just add AI so they can operate independently to carry out their mission when jammed. What could go wrong?

[Stosh]

Much more effective when accompanied by a Chuck Norris: http://www.movieclips.com/videos/code-of-silence-official-clip-eddie-and-the-prowler-543315523523

No. The “land drone” will be the smartest member of the platoon and by far the most valuable. The drone will give the orders sending the human part of the platoon into the grinder...

We are already testing solar-electric helicopter gunships the size of a smart car that use AI. The know when to land to recharge, and how to hide when they do. They learn enemy movement patterns and can go out “hunting” for an hour every day before finding a hidden roost for solar recharging. They can be put in human-controlled mode or into fully autonomous mode. They already exist, and could be mass-produced tomorrow.

[Travis McGee]

See my above about intelligent solar-powered mini helicopter gunships. They are already in testing, and it is purely a political decision to mass-produce them.

I think this stuff is designed for no other reason than a bunch of pin heads get to sit around and come up with catchy acronyms.
