"Drop Your Weapon. You have 20 seconds to comply."

Apparently, the rise of the machines has begun, and we have failed to prove our innate superiority to these semi-automonous death machines:


But the brave, as yet unnamed officer was unable to stop the wildly swinging computerised Swiss/German Oerlikon 35mm MK5 anti-aircraft twin-barrelled gun. It sprayed hundreds of high-explosive 0,5kg 35mm cannon shells around the five-gun firing position.

By the time the gun had emptied its twin 250-round auto-loader magazines, nine soldiers were dead and 11 injured.


Drones are big business nowadays, what with America's growing distaste for throwing our soldiers into the meatgrinder of pointless wars of aggression. Even Roomba (you know the guys who make the cute little robot vacuum?) is getting into the act with the deadly-cute KillBot. Let the bilking of the American taxpayer begin!

Dick Jones would be proud.

This is a great idea. For a new season of Battlebots but not for war. War should be fought with the most personal sacrifice by those who would declare it. War must be deadly serious and dangerous for all who would contemplate it, if only to prevent us from waging it.
