Was that dog trained to retrieve downed game?

How much ammo can it carry?

I just sat here and thought this. Why in the heck would anybody want this??? I can’t keep my phone charged half the time.

Well I'd guess you could fit a pretty decent payload on it and it would be a lot harder to shoot during an attack run on a target than a person wearing a backpack or vest. Plus you could deploy it from a minivan discreetly quite close to the target.

Personally I'd be more inclined to use an aerial drone, adding a third axis for evasion can only be a good thing. Although those have a pretty distinctive sonic signature that this thing likely doesn't.

Not that I've given this any thought.

Let me see... which would I rather get for my $2700? Two hundred pizzas, or a metal, 4-legged cockroach? Decisions, decisions. 🤔

Claymore Roomba just got a big upgrade!

How much ammo can it carry?

Each of my pits carry 25 pounds of stuff.

Ammo and dog food.

I just pictured trying to take this thing to a dog park and somebody's pit bull ripping its head off 🤣

The ATF has already required the manufacturer provide them with a remote app to disable all the robots so they can save on bullets.

False.
Why?
Because it's not what they've been training for.
