    Ah, ha! So, that Chinese S.W.A.T. team we caught ridin' dirty on Segways earlier this week actually had a reason to be carrying on like they were -- they were performing anti-terrorist drills in preparation for security during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Comically enough, the drill was said to be one of "rapid deployment," though we aren't told how many spills were taken when officers tried to actually maneuver one of these things around, aim at a target, pull a brown bag down around their head and keep it from spontaneously reversing. Just one question guys: what's with the tiny guns?

    How are they gonna dodge bullets while aiming and trying to ride that thing?

    And what is with that weak airplane thing in the background?

    the tiny guns are probly so the things wont reverse from the recoil when they fire em.

    As ludicrous as this looks - from the little I've seen of the damnable contraptions moving, they're quite nippy, aren't they? If they are fully balanced, I imagine the tech could take care of the recoil, so they'd provide quite an effective platform for a moving attack front.

    Or, perhaps, they just look futur-enough to scare the shit out of any rebelling Tibetans.

    • Besides, did no one notice that they're black and have a HAL eye at the front? Not laughing now, are you?detritus

    The 'Hal' eye on the front is the space discombobulator. The guns are just a decoy, the eye does all the 'zap' 'pow' techo damage stuff.

    Now all they need is some lightweight sheilding, maybe kevlar or something, to cover the body and protect it, with a small aperture for the gun to fire from, and, ah, what else... a suction cup arm thingy and erm...
