I remember them saying they would _never_ weaponize those smart dog-like four-legged ones. Now they've gone and done that. I saw one with a long range targeting system on it. It can pick YOUR face out of a crowd. Shoot you as much as a mile and half away if the shooting conditions are 'just perfect'.
I grudgingly admit: The damn thing shoots better'n I do.
I'm pretty sure I saw a report about one that had been equipped with an automatic rifle. They'll be hunting humans soon enough.
