A video of a robot dog firing bullets from a submachine gun mounted on its back has gone viral on the internet, raising concerns if we are actually using technology to such effect, Vice reported.

When Boston Dynamics' Spot trots on the floor of a factory or takes a walk on the footpath, he seems like the neighborhood-friendly dog that you can trust. It also helps that the company remains adamant about not using its technology as a weapon. However, it does not take long for someone else to put that idea into action, like in this video below.

If Tech can be used in war, it will be.

I will take 4 and post them on the 4 sides of my property in little watch dog houses with recharging stations.

Judge Kavanaugh has ordered several.

Do they bark?

Inspector Cleuseau: “I zot you zaid your dogue does Not beet!”

Man holding dog: “Zat eez not my dogue!”

Concept is proven. Now it needs a better mount with a lower bore height to reduce the adverse recoil to the platform.

When it starts shooting , duck.

Typical Russian Trash. An American kid programmer would shift weight to the rear legs (extend them) when firing.

This is about as low effort as possible.

I’ll bet its not even a Russian Robot, but a Chinese BD knockoff.

This is primitive compared to what has already been developed. Military versions are just waiting on the sidelines and ready for use.

It probably runs and hides when you try to give it a bath.

American kids aren't making weaponized robot dogs. Russian kids are.

Don't worry. This is just a prototype. They'll work out the bugs. The next gen won't have the muzzle rise problem.

LOL.

I once had an Irish Setter who loved to gnaw on bones, bury them etc. When he was chewing bones, buryingthem to soften them up and digging them up later ( yes dogs cook that way),
he had the mpst pbnoxious farts , so much so that he understood he wasnp;t supposed to do it in the house, but he would anyway and themn look sheepish about it. LOL.

Awful is right.

This electric shooting robot dog could do well with a skunk feature. If Kavanaugh had one with a skunk feature he could have marlked thise Marxists and leftist outside his home.The robot dog needs a skunk spray feature with a 60 foot range and a 5 gallon tank.

If tech can be used against the populace it will be.

Let me introduce you to the technology that will be used to disarm the citizens.

Seemed pretty obvious all along whom they were built to target...

“As can be seen in the video, the robot dog is not very good at handling the recoil generated when the gun is fired.”

Much of that is because of the way the rifle is mounted.
