      Welcome to automated warfare. Imagine a mass-cas squad engagement and after the shooting stops you realize the shooter was safe in a bunker a mile away.

        We will see iterations with high magnification sniper setups too. It will take a lot more precision, but that is just a machine generation thing and as we see with the quadcopter s and sea drones, these generations go fast.

          Those already exist. But there isn’t a machine yet that can replace infantry, which is why some of scariest technologies coming up are the smart fire control systems on infantry rifles.

          Soldiers identify the targets they want to hit, get their rifle in position, aim, but the gun fires itself when it’s calculated it’s best chance of hitting the target.

    Ugh these things are horrifying.

    Imagine some platoon coming across one of these buried in thick brush, and it just waits for the squad to get close before targeting all with thermal and wiping them out before anyone even realizes where the shooting is coming from. I hate that these things exist, even if they save some good guys.

    I can’t imagine the horrors these will be used for in the next 20 years. I am not excited for the sketchy PmCs that will get these.

    Time to design foss emp weapons I guess.
