I forgot what it was called, but there were these cameras in Metal Gear Solid 2 that had a circular casing and a properller in that case on, top was a camera and gun attached to it. I've seen it in real life somewhere but I forgot what it is.

None of the ideas are that science fiction though.

Number 7, the Airborne Laser, is actually tested here where I live. Currently it's pending funding in order to keep the research going. From what I understand, it was a "science project" that was taken a bit further, but has recently been looked at to be scrapped.

It's designed to superheat the missile's rocket system during launch in order to drop the warhead back onto the enemy. It's flown around here a few times. Looks like a regular 747 with a funny looking nose.

Number 5 seems like some ingenuity came into play here. Technology catching up in a time when we need to do all we can in order to prevent casualties in war times.

Number 4 I remember seeing a video about. They were testing a smaller version of it and it actually seemed pretty self aware of it's environment. Definitely interested in where that one leads.

Number 3. kek. I want one for....personal use.

Number 2 I hope they keep it remote controlled. Seems like if it's self thinking, we could have a robot army uprising on our hands.

Number 1 seems practical. A more sophisticated version of situation control.

I know but when I think of science fiction I think of like light sabers, ray guns, jet packs, cool suits of armor with shields and stuff, plasma weapons.

The Shotgun Tazer is real.

Meh, was referring to Master Chief suit. Also...I haven't seen a viable jet pack or a ray gun.
