They’re putting guns on robot dogs now
It was only a matter of timehttps://www.theverge.com/2021/10/14/22726111/robot-dogs-with-guns-sword-international-ghost-roboticsThe image above shows a quadrupedal robot — a Vision 60 unit built by US firm Ghost Robotics — that’s been equipped with a custom gun by small-arms specialists Sword International. It seems the gun itself (dubbed the SPUR or “special purpose unmanned rifle”) is designed to be fitted onto a variety of robotic platforms. It has a 30x optical zoom, thermal camera for targeting in the dark, and an effective range of 1,200 meters.

I bet a good monolithic or even a good cup and core bullet would fugg up rover and his systems.
Even a leg hit knocking schit out of alignment would pretty much fugg rover up.
Lots of critical tolerances in Rover I bet....

That's what they're sending in first during Red Flag gun confiscations.

Takes a whole bunch of AA’s to run that thing.
Once they get the battery thing figured out we’re fugged.

Did anyone really think that these genocidal maniacs wouldn’t weaponize everything they could? Probably happened as soon as rover could walk, they are just talking about it now because someone caught them at it.

Would it really need a 1200 meter range for a situation where a robot would be involved?
