SOCOM Fields Killer Robots “For Immediate Force Protection”

The weight of the LRWS is only 70 pounds versus CROWS of 350. This makes it small enough to be mounted on a Foster-Miller TALON ground robot. The new system includes various sensors such as a camera, thermal imaging, and laser range finder. The LRWS supports a machinegun or a sniper rifle. The document further said the LRWS is a "man-in-the-loop" system is controlled by a human operator rather than artificial intelligence.

Subsonic Considerations, Part 1 of 2

In the context of providing a sustainable supply of subsonic ammunition in an uncertain economic environment, pistol cartridges are easy to load, published data for subsonic rounds using both cast and factory projectiles is readily available, and there are a number of current and recent production weapons chambered in these calibers.

2.75″ Precision Laser Guided Rockets

Any light plane or helicopter can be used to carry small pods holding seven or more 2.75" precision laser-guided rockets. These are not the unguided "area suppression" 2.75s from the old days; these little rockets are now able to even hit moving vehicles in built-up areas, with little or no collateral damage, making them the perfect choice for Team Tyranny during a possible CW2. And do it from long range.
