Very Awesome Robot War Porn

I-robot teamed up with Metal Storm to create another amazing tool for our armed forces, a robot that can be armed with the million rounds-a-minute electric machine gun. Just what we need to patrol the border, clean out hobo camps ans send into terrorist ratholes in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yeah, I love these types weapons like our drones that send Hellfire to the jihadi scum.

The as yet unnamed war bot is being marketed for "border patrol" and "crowd control" scenarios, although other military situations are also under consideration.
"We want our soldiers to have the option of controlling a robot that could go ahead and investigate, engage or deter an enemy and not put human soldiers at risk," said a spokesman for Metal Storm who wished to remain anonymous.
This new war bot will likely soon join the existing ranks of military robots deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The U.S. military has used various war bots, from both iRobot and its competitor Foster-Miller, for years, primarily to diffuse bombs and other unexploded ordinances.
The first armed robots appeared in Iraq in 2007 as part of Foster-Miller's SWORDS program. They were armed with M249 light machine guns and received limited service in Iraq.

Hey anyway we can kill the enemy and keep our boys safer I am all for it. I guess those gamers out there have a useful purpose afterall since the robots are remote controlled.
