A Brief History of Unusual Objects Designed to Kill People from Far Away, Part 3: A Remote-Controlled, Gyro-Stabilized Sniper Rifle Mounting System
But a gun on a 3-axis automated gyro stabilized rig with no idea whether there's anyone behind the 'scope' or with their finger on the mouse/trigger... that is fairly scary.
It's got a similar feeling to if I had my hand in a CNC machine and it suddenly came to life or something... no idea where that bit is going. Except now apparently it can be a half-mile away on a helicopter.
So yeah. I'm all for gun use and ownership in a civilized manner, and I'm not going to say this technology shouldn't exist, because we must always assume more is always coming. But I can say that it's pretty nuts and is the type of system which needs to be closely monitored.
