This autonomous gun is capable of independently identifying targets with its thermal optics, identifying their range with its range finder, then engaging them at ranges up to 1.2 miles (2 km) with its Milkor MGL 40mm grenade launcher or its Daewoo K3 5.56 machine gun.

There’s something comical about an automated sentry turret sitting on a coffee table
It’s a conversation starter 🫣
Conversation ender too
Another use for Ikea LACK
What got me first was that the control cables look suspiciously like DMX-512 to me. I’m a theater tech…
Sentry, goin up!
I wonder how the border guards would react to you turning up and trying to beat on one with a wrench.
I imagine the sentry would stop you before you got within fixin range!
Now I wanna know how to say “Rock & Stone!” in Korean.
edit: 바위와 돌 (bawiwa dol), apparently?
Isn’t a DMZ the place where one should specifically not find weapons of any kind and especially not autonomous ones?
Well, they sit just outside the DMZ.
DMZ just means no soldiers inside, there are tons of them on the boundaries and a metric fuckton of land mines in between

I wonder how it discriminates children from legitimate targets, non-human, etc?
One of the few nice things about having a country-wide DMZ is that you can be pretty sure everyone coming across is a legitimate target.
Except for all the times it has been a defector running for their lives?
I’m reasonably sure they’re not turned on all the time. I’m assuming there’s a “in case of invasion break glass” somewhere, with the power switch inside.
Now you can get shot at from both sides as you attempt to escape to freedom.
Yayyy!
Wait, no
Unless they ain’t.
Probably slightly better than a landmine, of which there are a bazillion there too
You have twenty seconds to comply
Hahahaha
These things are pretty amazing but also scary, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ygFeywrvjc
Looks like something based on CROWS.
