Makes TF2 Engineer's sentries look a bit mediocre. Ought to be hitting the market about now if it hasn't already based on the dates, too.

All they need to do is put it on one of these:

Then it's game over.

dont really mean anything by it, but i remember seeing this when it came out two years ago. combined with the manbearpig it would be awesome though.

[Thrik]

Yeah, I didn't see it back then but I was aware of the date. Intriguing because the articles say it was meant to hit the market this year.

The music makes it that much more excellent

South Korea is seriously advanced when it comes to technology. They've always been ahead of the EU & US in that department. I'll see if I can ask some of my Korean friends if they know if its being used already or not (although, I guess the military wouldn't really be advertising the use of it publicly I suppose).

Love the token South Korean female voice on the turret as well, which asks soldiers for a password.

Yay, more killing machines for this world! :-|

In times of peace you should be readying for times of war!RELEASE THE SENTRY BOTS!

[e-freak]

They are in use - they are placed along the Innerkorean Border - they had thousands of soldiers doing nothing but laying there all day watching the border because official both countries (north and south korea) have not made a peace-contract. These soldiers (mostly recruits) have been replaced by that sentry.

[Thrik]

They'd just better hope there're no demomen around.

Or spies!
