Japanese "Walker"

Everybody remember that Japanese shuffler that was on the old forums a while ago? The one that they refused to sell to security companies or put real guns on? Does anyone have a link?

Nerf-ball launchers. No actual weapons.

In fact, they got indignant when asked by a security agency to put real guns on it.

"This is a toy! It's for entertainment, not killing people!"

Lol. Well, I've got a feeling that somone could just buy the damn thing and mount a weapon on it. Course, at this stage, the shuffler has none of the advantages of a real walker, which is it's terrain adaptablity and elevated firing arc, at this stage, a tank is probably a much better buy

...A tank will always be a much better buy except in hilly environments.

Mechs will always be cooler however.

Unless you buy your tanks from General Ground Supply Co., which certifies its vehicles to the hilliest terrain imaginable, even capable of scaling mountains with their winches securely attached to a point above them.
