    Not to mention things like laser targeting, or the fact that a mountable firing device doesn't necessarily need to have the same configuration as a conventional firearm.

    I'm sure the US gov and other state actors have much scarier versions already functioning in prototype form at least.

      the better current version of this doesn't bother with the legged nonsense. it's way easier to put a gun on a glorified RC car.

      one of the battlebots teams uses a pneumatic canon, easily could do a gun instead if they were into murdering people instead of getting on a mediocre TV show.

          battlebots TV is so much worse than NHRL's youtube streams. it's ridiculous.

          discovery's reality tv bullshit and all the filler makes the show impossible for me to watch as broadcast. we have cable for some reason but i still watch it on some pirate site so i can scrub through all the commercial bumpers, slow walkouts, and shitty lingering shots of the box while the audience chants fightfightfight.

        I want to see one of those battlebots with just a fuckoff huge captive bolt gun. Touch up against the other bot and slam a three foot tungsten rod through it.
