US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the hot-lead-for-hu-mans dept.

Darren writes "The US Army is testing robots armed with shotguns. The robots are called Packbots and have already seen some action in Iraq. It also has chemical sensors that detect nuclear, biological, and chemical contaminants. Maybe I've seen a few too many bad sci-fi movies, but robots with shotguns scare me."

    I can't believe that after 220 comments, nobody has done this yet!

    I, for one, welcome our new shotgun-wielding robot overlords!
