K_Kinnison Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 this really isn't something shocking. Artifical limbs have advanced quite a bit in the last 10 years, to the point people who have had their Legs amputated can jog on thier own
Nute Gunray Posted March 22, 2002 Author Posted March 22, 2002 But those were purely mechanical. This is something completely different: the merging of man and machine. Quick, buy ammo before the machines start to try to purge the organics!
Rogue15 Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 OMHG!!! THIS IS LIKE TOTAL ANNIHILATION!!!!!! AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!
JR2000Z Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 You remembered me of this. I read it a couple weeks ago and I thought it was pretty neat.
Flying Beastie Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 Once again. Child. Loaded gun. <small>I've got a bad feeling about this.</small>
Kylilin Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 I think its amazing, but also extremely frightening...
Rogue15 Posted March 22, 2002 Posted March 22, 2002 OH NO!!!! O WAIT I MEAN.... OH YA!!!! I'M GOING TO ENROLL IN THE MILITARY GET ONE OF THOSE SUITS AND GO ON A KILLING SPREE!!!! WWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Zoom Rabbit Posted March 23, 2002 Posted March 23, 2002 Hmm. I wonder what sort of resistance that armor would offer a folded-steel samurai sword... A sword has a much more concentrated impact area than a bullet. *(Shoots a kevlar helmet for demonstrative purposes, then cuts it in half with his sword.)* See?
Rogue15 Posted March 23, 2002 Posted March 23, 2002 yay imagine what could happen if group of soldiers with those armors on were actually terrorists...they better include a shutdown switch....
Rebel Loyaltist Posted March 23, 2002 Posted March 23, 2002 The farther we advance in scientific studies the closer we are, to a Star Wars World. MUHAWAWAWAWA!
Commander 598 Posted March 23, 2002 Posted March 23, 2002 How about multi-ton bipedal war machines? These guys have proof of work being accomplished(There still trying to get a construction site up)
Nute Gunray Posted March 23, 2002 Author Posted March 23, 2002 They have a quadraped walking machine at the US Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, VA. It really sucks. I have a picture of it somewhere but I haven't been able to find any of my photos i have since I painted my room last August/September.
Jem Posted March 24, 2002 Posted March 24, 2002 this reminds me of: SYNDICATE That was a good game, the first one that is. Syndicate wars just sucked. Soon I will create my own Syndicate and take over the whole planet with my favourite weapon: the Persuadertron it has begun...
Admiral Odin Posted March 24, 2002 Posted March 24, 2002 I remember reading how the military is trying to develope plasma based guns. Now that would be cool, the bullets would leave earth before gravity could pull them down.
Zoom Rabbit Posted March 26, 2002 Posted March 26, 2002 Plasma weapons are still restricted by trifles like mass and the whole E=MC2 thing... I'll just wait for science to learn how to collonate a phaser beam before I arm my spaceships, thanks.
Admiral Odin Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 Ever wonder how in ST they were able to jump out of the phaser fire when it a laser hence goes at the speed of light.
Zoom Rabbit Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 Well, if the phaser is poorly aimed to begin with...
Zargon Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 BiPedal machines are retarded, tracks are much more versitile
K_Kinnison Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 I wouldn't be suprised if the US army would have a Laser infantry unit some day soon. heck, they allready have developed an Airbone Laser anti-missle system. And surface to space Lasers Reminds me of a Quote If i were creating the universe i wouldn't have worried about butterflies and Dafodilles. I would have started with lasers! 8 O'clock: Day one!
Zargon Posted March 28, 2002 Posted March 28, 2002 Originally posted by K_Kinnison Iheck, they allready have developed an Airbone Laser anti-missle system. That requires so much power that its mounted into a 747 because no military plane was suitable for it..................
Commander 598 Posted March 29, 2002 Posted March 29, 2002 How bout a CH-47? BiPedal machines are retarded, tracks are much more versitile When was the last time you saw one?
Nute Gunray Posted March 29, 2002 Author Posted March 29, 2002 Bipeds handle like crap. Quadrapeds or hexapeds are much, much better.
