We are maybe ten years from living the script of the Terminator .
I read a story a couple days ago that Musk's idea to build a moon colony is to first build an AI robot production facility on the moon and send AI robots there to operate it , to build a robot workforce .
I'm an accelerationist in that regard. The sooner we can get through that part of the "great filter" the sooner we can adapt and figure out what it means for us on the other side.
When facing the inevitable, there's no sense in prolonging the discomfort.
That’s… actually not a bad idea, for the most part, it would probably be better to use a smaller caliber higher velocity grenade launched for more range, something like the xm25s 25mm grenade system or a 30mm high velocity grenade system for more range but those would require significantly more research and development, but with the proper modifications and specialized ammunition a mk19 based system would actually work pretty well
Not sure about a biggest dog. But .308 backed up by .500 then .40. I'm actually trying to be quasi realistic for CQB and not say bazooka. But I think some combinations of large caliber and penetration.
Don't really have to worry about anything ricocheting back to you if you designed the kill box correctly and make it out of thick enough concrete. That's stuff we've been designing for hundreds of years even predating firearms. Angled windows and such.
Yeah, a light machinegun is not great for this, you definitely want it to be engaging and shooting down threats faster than that. Something bigger that has air-burst capable munitions (20mm+) would be ideal, but for something more or less man portable you'd need something that isn't in mass production yet, like the XM25, medium velocity small grenades with programmable detonation distance or proximity fuses.
Fascinating development history. It was made as an anti-aircraft focused machine gun. 1929-1938, first production in 1939 as the DShK-38 that saw service in WW2, but in limited numbers. It later evolved into the Kord and then the PKM.

Would using turkey or goose loads with a belt fed shotgun (I know it's not a thing...yet) not be more effective?

That’s more Blade Runner than Terminator

yep either way not going to be fun,

Put a Mk19 beltfed Grenade Launcher on it, with XM1176 airburst munitions.

Divenity@reddit
XM1176 is 40×53mm, the high velocity variety of 40mm, it has slightly higher velocity than the XM25's 25mm grenades.

I don't know if this is Terminator or Star Trek. Cool, but frightening.

lol the robocop ed9 testing is what I was thinking of at the start of the video
aggie113@reddit
Thank god it doesn't have to go down any stairs.
Soft-Ad-8975@reddit
Shit if they keep making automated weaponry it may not be a bad idea to keep some extra stair cases laying around. Maybe a edc/cc staircase
brandoldme@reddit
Have to go up and down several sets of stairs to get into your concrete bunker.
I'm thinking go down one set and up another. And at the bottom is the kill box for defense.

What’s your go-to firearm for clankers?

Uh, I don't know. I'm a system guy.

Soft-Ad-8975@reddit
For me I have a Lynx 12, figure a drum mag full of slugs will do the trick in your kill box

EDC babygate to stop any of those Boston Dynamic robot dog type bots

RedCat has something similar being put on their USVs called the Bullfrog I believe. These will definitely become more prevalent on the battlefield.

Bull frog I believe is made by Allen control systems.

Yea agreed. This thing is perfect for anti personnel maybe but idk about drones

And now it's come full circle to shooting down (small) aircraft.
NoOnesSaint@reddit
I feel like a certain battleship would have something to say about leaving a turret on auto track while next to friendly forces.
Something something 20mm... something something depleted uranium...

iirc those are Russians so im pretty sure no one gives a fuck about safety precautions lol
