Wouldn't it be nice if these robots had a true, human-like hand, controlled by an operator wearing some sort of glove, which included true haptic-feedback (providing a sense of "touch", or pressure-change)? Let's make one!

I bet they were just paperweights but you know the police MUST play with all these over priced toys...

I thought I had right to these things.

Three safeties. You gotta apply full pressure with you grip, fling spoon with the thumb and lastly pull pin, then you can hold the damn thing all day. Once you loosen your grip fully, it heats and you got 3 seconds.

what a fuckin waste man. grandpa stores his grenades from the war in the garage years on end, and the second they're discovered they're going to blow the whole family sky high? NO! they are safe as fuck as long as the blasting cap doesn't go off. dumbasses. i would have snatched those in a jiffy. how fun would it be to blow up those groundhogs in my field instead of having to just shoot them all the time. or you could sell those for a shitload of money.

Give it a break, it was its first day at the job.

Anyone else notice it drops about 3 at 2:38, before the most obvious at 2:59 ?
