Robot can shoot you. No, really. A robot.

Rat-tat-tat-tat! That's the sound made by the "Multiple Kill Vehicle," a frightening but fascinatingly cool hovering robot meant to shoot down enemy ballistic missiles.  Lockheed Martin has made it onto the Web, and it looks like something out of the "Terminator" movies. Rival defense contractor Raytheon is also working on its own multiple-kill-vehicle program. Inside a large steel cage, Lockheed's MKV lifts off the ground, moves left and moves right, rapidly firing all the while as flames shoot out of its bottom and sides.

Right out of the Terminator movies? Haven't I talked about this? Can't say I didn't warn you. This is where we are heading...

Seriously, go to the site. Some cool pictures and video of this bad boy.
