I would go for one but, In Ma you can not have a flash suppressor and it would not be half as fun shooting from 10 round mags.

I saw this on a show not long ago and it's a great little weapon. Turns on a dime!

+1 I think it was a pretty small company that developed it. I hope it works well.

What I was reading made it sound like a father/son team or maybe a few others though.

Here is one of their TV broadcasts.

My wife works for a company that develops for iRobot, the warrior and negotiator and some other builds.

Too bad she does not work for that company... I'd love to watch R&D tests!

 

[MasterShinken]

I've seen the iRobot folks playing paintball against their robots before, quite funny really, I think the robots were winning

The ripsaw is made by two brothers. Started out a a garage project and then they wanted to get into the DARPA challenge.

My buddy Will is their shop foreman.

That thing is very scary to me. A gun without a human's control or conscience behind it.

We always talk about guns not being able to do any harm by themselves and how it takes a person to do the evil act not just the gun.....maybe not so much with this sucker.

 

[Ozman]

I'll take one. It'll go great in the garage next to my ED-209.

Of course, isnt this how T-3 started (or ended....?)

I think it is controlled by a humoid in another vehicle

[Roadblock]

Looks like its coming out of a bay at Picatinny Arsenal...awesome.

As awesome as that vehicle is... I closed that video 1/2 way through. I can't stand the morons who work at, or anyone associated with, Fox news.

I'm pretty sure that it's controlled remotely.
