Weapons use? by SexyKellyOsbourne · 2002-10-13 10:31 · Score: -1, Troll

Chances are, these things are going to end up in ultra high-tech weapons for US Special Forces to assist them in pillaging third-world countries for their natural resources in this "War on Terrorism" long before we ever see them in civilian use. The only thing keeping them from using such terrible weapons are power sources, and now that it's being addressed, we could see them being used in Arab countries very soon.

Their applications?

Pulse Rifles, as seen in Aliens, Land Warrior systems, and Exoskeletons
