Navy successfully tests laser-equipped robot

[Deleted_171835]

We do not like where this is heading, not one bit. The Navy has been testing laser-armed robotic gun turrets for a while, and now the Register (UK) is reporting that the technology has finally been used to knock a drone out of the sky, "in an over-the-water, combat representative scenario" at San Nicolas Island. Raytheon's Phalanx CIWS, generally outfitted with a 20mm Gatling gun, is a ship's last line of defense against incoming missiles. If they can be outfitted with lasers, there will be two distinct advantages: first, they wouldn't have to be reloaded; and second, when used on land, the surrounding area won't be littered with quite so much debris (shrapnel and unexploded rounds). Then again, we can think of one distinct disadvantage: there will be robots running around with laser cannons!

Skynet is pleased!

It won't be too long until we have bazooka sized laser cannons and laser cannons mounted on fighter jets and helicopters.

It is already in the wrong hands and ready to be used exclusively to terrorize more brown people.

WWIII

It'll happen eventually anyway. I would be more worried about the newly discovered synthetic cells getting into the wrong hands once perfected, I rather not have metahumans around destroying my town, *snip*
