I just saw this. Im not a sniper but I imagine this would have to be as real as it could get without being the real deal.

That would cost so damn much! Also if you miss your screwed if you hit one

That would be a seriously amazing COF. The ability for the target to “react” and scatter would be a great training tool. Would be curious to know how much the targets could be armored up to prevent the negligent target hits.

This would defiantly be an E-Ticket ride for us.

Unfortunately they are probably beyond the budget for TPRC2011, but that is very cool!!

THAT is incredible. I had no idea AI systems were so autonomous.

BTW, the sniper trainee fails Zombie Patrol. He should have continued to plug the dummy after the first round and not let him recover and stand back up, only to roll away and eat human flesh another day. It was like watching a bad Woody Harrelson movie (redundant, yes, I know).

Just sayin'
