      The robots weights like 30 kilos without the gun and the gun looks huge. I guess if they get kids to effectively shoot Kalashnikovs in Africa the 40 kg robot can manage the recoil.

      These things can take someone kicking them and stay standing, recoil is a fraction of that.

      6.5 CR is a relatively lightweight recoiling cartridge (essentially a necked-down .308 case pushing a .264" VLD projectile of about 120-140 grains). From a stable, robotic platform, I do believe it would be effective out to or even beyond 1200m. I have seen people hit steel at 1000m from a mass produced bolt action rifle and $600 $480 optic using only the BDC reticle (no manual adjustments or calculations)
