I would take my chances against a slaughterbot everytime compared to more mundane things like mustard gas.
A slaughterbot obviously needs melee weapons and needs to be athletic. Ballistic platforms are probably far more effective, but it doesn't send the right message.
- WA 5y agoI would bet on the 1,000 Slaugherbots coming for you. Why do you assume it has to be only one? Slaughterbots could carry a small explosive, just like in the video. Doesn't have to be melee.
- dan_mctree 5y agoWhy would they need melee? Just attach a lightweight single use gun barrel on top
- raxxorrax 5y agoIt just wouldn't be the same dystopic feeling when they use guns.
- imtringued 5y agoBecause then people would realize that soldiers are just as lethal or perhaps even more lethal than drones.
- pzo 5y ago1) current small racing drones have speed >80mph, that's 35 meters per 1 second. You won't even have time to hear them and react while under attack. 2) current drones already have 4 tiny knives (blades). Enough to make it slightly larger/sharper and/or from titanium instead of plastic. That's enough to cut your throat or wrist and let you bleed to death ... 3) ... cover those blades with some venom or poison for "extra efficiency" 4) ... they probably don't even need some bullet - enough to detect your eye and stab you with a nail covered with venom/poison I doubt you would have any chance with just a dozen of slaughterbots. edit: formatting
- raxxorrax 5y agoProbably not, but I also have noch chance against mustard gas and bleeding out seems at least preferable. Drones are extremely loud, especially those that fly that fast and small. If you have finely mashed net or large piece of cloth, drone already get into trouble.
