I may have to upgrade my carry pistol.

Meh.
I’ve got a 10 MM and plenty of ammo. I’ll just have the wife reload mags as necessary.

Where do you shoot a bot? They don't have a brain or a heart, or a spinal cord. Depending on how sophisticated they are, they might not even have a motherboard. Operating systems might be duplicative, or designed to create backups as needed.
I'd go with a flamethrower. Intense heat screws up everything.

Holy smokes SIG4EVA, that's the biggest gun I've ever seen. That thing shoot 120mm rounds like an Abrams?

We'll program that K9 bot to get the man bot by the ass and all will be good.

Wow, that picture is bigger than a 500 S&W!
What makes them “terrifying” and “nightmare inducing?”

Just load em up with TNT, and with a good remote detonator you have a kamakazi robot attack! Banzai!! Hopefully this technology will be used against our enemies...and not US!

Weld BIG & wide metal bars to the front; or a bull bar will do. For shooting these future overlords I’ll go with 12g slugs.

Nothing that big. I have one (with the short barrel) and it's not as bad to shoot as one might expect, especially with the lighter loads.
