i trust the isrealis not to let a robot get out of hand. they have a good track record of not taking shit.

That would work too...but it's only effective while they haven't run
out of flak. Like mini portable aegis guns?
Got a link to that info?

I think you meant to say Phalanx gun. (or however you spell phalanx...) aegis is the radar system that several ships (ticonderoga and arleigh burke classes) use.

If i had to guess, yes...it sounds very much like the phalanx, radar controled...i just cant figure out the projectile. From the video, the head of the RPG is sheered off clean. Who knows.


oh and edit: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060330/dcth048.html?.v=44 so it is a real thing.

If we can't use high-speed, explosive projectiles to take down rogue 'bots (and cyborgs) that leaves only one option - the sword! Nothing beats a good old fashion body slash, even if it is only a metal body with some plastic and shit.

If only we had lightsabres...
