The hydraulic 'power-suit,' which enables the wearer to carry up to 200 lbs and run at 10 mph, now boasts better protection from the elements, improved fitting and easier adjustment, increased run-time and new control software."

  1. Where is the shoulder mount? by RichMan · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Where is the shoulder mounted gun with HUD fire control?

    This thing needs a shoulder mounted heavy gun with auto-stability and HUD based targeting.
    Not to mention vertical launch munitions with precision placement.
