You might even say it's the core of demon...onic s-stuff

fuck

Looks pretty rad to me

Yes, indeed it is

My guess is that they can kind of steer it by driving only the right or left side wheels. It's diesel electric so they could individually control each wheel motor.

Ah the one that melted it's pilot!

Have you ever wanted to unscrew the fuze from a dudded aircraft bomb or artillery round, but you wanted to do it from far away?

This do that.

It's 30% less cursed than the alternative tool.

It was developed as one of many proposed weapons to fill the U.S. Army's desire for a squad level weapon that could be fired from inside a building, and packed more anti-armor punch than a 40mm.

Think about the time period and planners thinking about how to stop hypothetical hoards of BMPs rolling through West Germany.

This, along with other weapons, weren't adopted because the Army pivoted doctrine away from focusing on new squad level weapons that could damage IFVs, to larger weapons like the TOW that could take out MBTs. The change in thinking traded lightweight and abundance organically to infantry on the move, for better performance per system.

Looks like a lego guy at first.

The significant plumes of smoke generated when the weapon was fired indicate that it does not make use of commercial small arms ammunition propellant (‘smokeless powder’), and may instead use blackpowder or an alternative propellant. This makes the use of ‘separate-loading’ ammunition (i.e., propellant and projectile loaded separately into the weapon) more likely, as well as increasing the likelihood that the weapon was a muzzle-loading design—that is, loaded from the bore (‘front’ of the barrel), rather than the breech (‘rear’ of the barrel) of the firearm.

the weapon appears to use an electric firing mechanism. Images of the firearm show that an electrical wire passes through each endcap. ...This high voltage creates a hot plasma arc between two conductive contacts that can be used to ignite flammable materials

So this is where Bungie gets their exotic weapon designs from for Destiny
