so it’s a flying gun? yawn one clip only? lol
reminds me a bit of The Peripheral (looking forward to the sequel!)
It looked like it was having to really fight that recoil too. The effective firing rate is going to be garbage, and unless there’s some magic pixie dust in the targeting there’s no way they’re going to hit anything reliably enough to compensate.
Not having to worry about casualties from the other guys shooting back changes the equation: you could fly a swarm of these close enough to your targets to shoot at very close range and at worst you’d be out some hardware.

It seems more built for suppressive fire, where accuracy isn’t as important as just keeping enemy heads down.

Don’t worry, this is just the beginning of this type of garbage. They’re going to get “better” and “better” and “better” until…
Which leads me to wonder: if this video’s suggestion is correct, and the future of battle is robots, then the purpose of a robot shooting at another robot is…what, exactly?

Nah. The robots won’t kill us. The robots will just take your jobs.

I wonder how long before police departments start getting these in their government surplus gift bags.
Get a job running into walls, falling over and getting stuck in corners
