Finding a set of chisels and a millinghead. :wink:
The machine came with a box of tools like different sizes of claws, a drillinghead, centerpointers, uuuuused chisels and other thingymajigs. Since the previous owner only used the lathe some of the milling stuff got displaced.
But all in all he considers it 600 ‚ well-spent and so do I. And its lovely too. Makes the place more cozy.

i heard that a noraml sniper can hit a target a size of a basket ball with one of those it can hit a golf ball from the same distance

The robots are defenitely VS. So every biped is a fair target. Saves a lot of troubles with friendly fire.

But I ask myself, on what channel are those machines? 72MHz?

The possibility of the enemy finding the frequency and using it is somewhat fightening...

Use it in countries were the highest form of guided missiles are suicide bombers.
Not much chance that the enemy has any clue what is happening.

mario i wouldnt be so sure.

in every country there are always people who know all about technology etc

i think that the americans are probably thinking along the same lines, good luck to the soldiers that fight with them is all i can say.

im not happy going near an active heavyweight, let alone one that has a rifle on it.

they also self destruct

Yeah, Ive got to think along the lines of what Gary is saying. There will always be a geek or two in these terrorist movements.

Making remote controlled machine gunners off near your base is like setting a suicide bomber on the loose. None of the soldiers working with the machines would know if they are under their own control apart from the controller himself.

I really do hate the way Americans do stuff...
