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.
Sentry, goin up!
I wonder how the border guards would react to you turning up and trying to beat on one with a wrench.
Now I wanna know how to say “Rock & Stone!” in Korean.
edit: 바위와 돌 (bawiwa dol), apparently?
I imagine the sentry would stop you before you got within fixin range!
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

Looks like something based on CROWS.
There’s something comical about an automated sentry turret sitting on a coffee table
It’s a conversation starter 🫣
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.
Now you can get shot at from both sides as you attempt to escape to freedom.
Yayyy!
Wait, no
