can't remember if I found it on these forums or some other forums but I found this creepy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3W8dm5JxFc
Ever seen SWORD? Just a small bot on wheels manned by a long distance operator with a gun attacthed to it. More accurate than any expert marksman with the lack of shaking and it being mounted stable and all. Plus, its got a low profile, being low to the ground, and wielding all terrain wheels. This thing can shoot MUCH further with the same rifle than a human could and be dead accurate. Also, if it gets smashed, it doesnt cost the military millions of dollars to replace like a soldier. We ride in cars for a reason, they have wheels and they seem to work oh so much better. I couldnt find a video of sword on youtube, but its on future weapons on the military channel if you get the chance.
Yeah, I've seen that video before, and the thing creeps me right the fuck out. The legs... Christ. It's like something out of Silent Hill.
Would make electronic warfare that much more feasable... If they are using wireless; there is a way to hack in; nothing is 100% secure... Or would make EMP's alot more feasable turning hightech armor into nothing more then regular clothing...
You dont need to have wired armor to stop bullets from killing you ^_^. Rendering emp highly cost inneffective against soldiers. But when the self guided vehicles are more practical... ^_^
Imagine sevral years in the future; when an entire army is like that... Hacking into the com system could provide anything from intel to giving false orders to soldiers... A system designed to shut down the computer that magnetises the armor could also be usefull; since the soldiers suddenly go from being able to survive some hits; to wearing compleatly useless bulk... (Assuming that they get this technology far enough that the vest becomes truly "Bullet Proof")
I've got one of those at my house X.x... Thier a freaking G3. Bloody toy. He didnt do enough research, SWORD kicks his gun's ass. AND it moves.
