US Army testing a device that could give soldiers a 'third arm' Also, I'm fairly certain that they are infringing on my patented Third Hand Ass Locator, a medical device for the clueless. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | ||

Quick question for Army. How does a device that weighs 4 lb. "lessen soldier burden?" _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

"freeing up their hands to do other tasks" ? I think if I was shooting at someone trying to kill me, I'd be pretty focused on that. | |||

I read thru it a couple of times, but it seems to be a solution in search of a problem. I can't figure out the utility here. Unless the 'arm' is going to aim and pull the trigger, I'm pretty sure you are still going to need both of your own arms. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Gotta add that you give this thing to a bunch of bored grunts and I hate to see what they have that third arm doing.  I double checked the date on the article and nope it didn't come out on 4/1. Head scratcher for sure (Hey, there's a use for the third arm!) “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

How can you butt strike some BG in the noggin' with that thing? Also, doesn't a sling work without adding 4#s? "Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." ~Robert A. Heinlein | |||

A: sling B: if they can't support the weight of a weapon, at least when actually firing it, why are they in the Army? Agreed, solution in search of a problem. A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||

I can't see how that would normally be an asset to the military, but there would certainly be a civilian market. Never again would an idiot have to say "hold my beer" before they initiate some form of self-immolation. === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

Think that arm of the Defense budget needs to be slashed. “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration…President Obama’s administration before this.
