Well, I bet no one saw this one coming. NOT! South Korea has announced that they will be using automated gun emplacements along it’s border with the most friendly nation on the planet, North Korea. Did I see this in a movie once?
The Commerce Ministry said the robot, which can fire a machine gun or rubber bullets and sound an alarm when it detects suspicious movement, could dramatically improve surveillance capability.
The robot also can distinguish people from moving objects such as a vehicles from up to two kilometres (1.2 miles) away in the daytime, and half that distance at night, the ministry said in a news release.
Holy cow! How long will it be until something like this is installed at key points along the US boarders? A long time I hope. I’m going to pop Aliens in my DVD player and see just how effective automatic sentry guns can be.
