Terminator is real. How long before Skynet takes over the world?
 

This is from Wired News - "Now, the Army is prepping its squad of robotic vehicles for a new set of assignments. And this time, they'll be carrying guns. As early as March or April, 18 units of the Talon -- a model armed with automatic weapons -- are scheduled to report for duty in Iraq."

Wasn't one of those things in Terminator 3? :BangBang:

"Four cameras and a pair of night-vision binoculars allow the robot to operate at all times of the day. It has a range of about a half-mile in urban areas, more in the open desert. And with the ability to carry four 66-mm rockets or six 40-mm grenades, as well as an M240 or M249 machine gun, the robots can take on additional duties fast, said GlobalSecurity.org director John Pike."

EMP.. somehow i think the iraqis are fresh out of emp grenades

I can see the Iraquies running around with extension cords trying to zap them.


Oh wait. They dont have extension cords.

movies are always right.

EMP defense weapns have been in lng use.
I believe the Russians were the first to utilise such devices.

Very effective against American weaponry.

Problem is EMP works in a radius and is not really a targetable defense weapon till ne is near the target.

EMP has a very limited range on a field.
