    I like that story.

    "oh yeah, two random guys just happened to discover a long-thought-destroyed CIA manual which has in it details about the DOUBLE PLUS BLACK OPS AREA 51 SUPER TRIPLE-PROBATION SECRET MK ULTRA 2 PROGRAM."

    Shocking that no one has an opinion on how the makers of that explosive-propelled pepper-spray-gun site: "liberal politics" as a chief reason for their product.

    The gloves are probably for better trigger control for the police gunmen. Anyone who has actually worked a firearm in gloves would tell you that this would be a godsend for them.

    They need to make gloves that can stop the pricks from needles, then I'll be impressed

    I love the riotBot. Load it up with armor piercing ammo and turn wars into a cool video game. I'd buy that system in a heartbeat. It'd also be great for hunting, or in it's standard non-lethal configuration, just all-around mischievous fun.

    Hell, an RF toy car, a couple of servos, paintball gun, webcam equipped netbook and arduino... I see a fun project in the works.

    I doubt the riot bot can fire 700 per minute. It is a paintball gun wheels. And it is fed by a gravity powered hopper, which equates to VERY slow firing rates and often times not firing at all because the balls don't feed.

    @Slinkytech: To reach a speed of 700 per minute, all it has to do is shoot 1 ball in less than 0.11 seconds, well within the capabilities of most paintball guns. They could have said it shoots 42,000 rounds per hour and been equally correct. They always give the most enticing theoretical number, which is just an average of ideal times, spread over a unit of time people are familiar with. Unless they say "it never jams", it's a valid but intentionally misleading claim. That's how advertising works, especially at industry conventions.

    @vlatro: Most paintball guns can shoot quite fast, but what usually limits them is the loader. Which would be the limiting factor here. I'd want a better hopper if I was getting a frakking robot.

    @Slinkytech: Any chance they use a battery powered hopper? IIRC, the Brass Eagle "Rainmaker" from like 1997 could do 11-13 shots per second and had a anti-jam sensor to prevent barrel breaks.

    Next BattleModo HAS to be RiotBot vs. BumBot.
