Now now boys. I see this kind of argument in all sorts of situations. People like to believe that because tech moves forward, mankind moves backwards. What could tech like this do in the RIGHT hands? A sniper with skills could likely elevate the capability of both this tech and themselves. Have you seen the sort of technology that has changed in cars...even just over the last 20-30 years? Is everyone a race car driver now? No, but the racers can do things with these cars that would blow the minds of the racers before them.
Edit a spelling blunder. I wish Siri would get some better tech and keep my fat fingers in line...
