    Saw the Boston Dynamics robot dogs with a gun, and I don’t think we have to worry, due to it using a regular magazine and not having opposable thumbs it is has a preset kill maximum of 30 people.

      Granted, whoever tries to put these into production is probably gonna give it a belt-fed or some shit like that. A gunbot isn’t much of a gunbot unless you’ve got at least a couple hundred rounds ready to go.

        Frickin’ laser beams or GTFO. A gunbot with a metal-projectile weapon taped to its arm is like something out of a dystopian sci-fi movie where they’ve lost all the knowledge needed to build new tech.

        Yeah I know, I was just making a Futurama joke, all I can do before the American doggun bots swarm into Europe and herd my poor ass into the MoldyAI powering oven.

        Fill the body with bullets, it’s a tested method. Although Aperture might’ve patented it 🤔
