Post Israeli snake robot
The Israeli Defense Force has this robot snake in development.

According to the article:
Quote:
This self-propelling, two feet long robot can crawl along the ground, climb through debris, and even stand erect to give the operator a better view


Apparently it can also be wired with explosives.

Quote:
And if this is not enough? In that case, the prototype can be wired with explosives -- making it, according to the Jerusalem Post, a "suicide snake." Fun!

Awesome. I saw a Discovery Channel special on other new Israeli weapons a while ago, featuring a gun that could see and shoot around corners or over walls/into windows with extendable pieces. :o

lol, that's retarded. :roll: There was some OICW rifle that had a tv camera integrated into it that fed video back to a monocle the user worse. So you could stick it around corners without exposing yourself. Same general concept, but not as lame as a bendable rifle. :P

That is absolutely epic retarded. I think the futureweapon guy was trying not to make fun of the silly Frenchman.

Hahaha, it's an israeli actually. :)

That show switches between the hilariously stupid and the amazingly cool weapons, if you've seen it some time. But that guy presenting it is such a lamebag, freaking bald macho wannabe soldier.

At the end of that show they demonstrated the weapons 'in real time' with a hostage rescue operation against a gang of terrorists, with the hostages - of course - being models on high heels in short dresses, whimpering and crying for help while the bad-ass tv army dudes go in with marine tactics and shoot the arab guys. Complete with slow-mo shot of the bald guy in sunglasses emptying a machinegun clip with bullets falling out the side. :roll:

It was so cringeworthy. Baldie looked 5'7" or something, absolutely terrifying (NOT).

heheh... yea, I've seen the show a time or two. some of the weapons are cool, but the host is more annoying than anything. Baldy was probably picked on a lot in school.
