>Working powered exoskeletons have been real for nearly 20 years>Working laser turrets have been real for nearly 20 years>Working railguns have been real for nearly 20 years>Working plasma cannons have been real for over 30 years>Autonomous robots that understand simple commands have been around for over ten years>People act like drones are the most advanced weapon around when we've been using them since WWIIWhat gives? Why is everyone still pretending that we're living the 20th century? People are so tired of waiting for these weapons that they're building the things themselves in their garages.
most of it isn't militarily useful yet. and lasers are being used so I don't know why you included them.
>>64746609Because pretty much everything you listen is, in its current form, extremely gimmicky and impractical for any real military use that basic shit won't do the job of just fine for cheaper.
>>64746609Because regular bombs and bullets are still fine for 99% of engagements. Countries developing this scifi shit don't want to spend bazillions fielding them until they have to.They will have to soon though, don't worry.
>>64746609Are you retarded? Genuine question.
>>64746609I would also like to know if you're retarded, or just a little stupid.
>>64746609Limiting factor is energy.
>>64746609The real reason no one's using Lasers at a big scale is that they're good for blinding and not much else. No one wants to be the first to open that Pandora's box, where everyone without advanced eye protection just gets blinded. Over the next generation we will see the dam break, with millions of blinded people, soldiers and civilians, thanks to the large scale use of offensive lasers.
>>64746748Just hook them up to things that already produce their own power.
>>64746609Lockheed Martin and Raytheon is why. Most of the weapons R&D funding goes to missiles.
