UM-Bot Posted June 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2018 The unique device acts as a third limb, enabling soldiers to aim and fire heavier weapons during combat. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/318557/us-army-develops-third-arm-exoskeleton 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted June 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I wonder if the military might get smart and start watching movies like Aliens. Could've built that system years ago, with the addition of body armor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperdyer Posted June 4, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 4, 2018 This could give the military's "Short arm inspection" a whole new meaning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted June 4, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) A split-harness over the soldiers shoulders and attached to a lower back-belt with upper thigh straps seems would be better. Edited June 4, 2018 by pallidin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
