You might not want to detonate a grenade where your target is. This definitely wouldn't be a method for fighting regular infantry. I think it might see more use in police actions.
Now I’m envisioning the same robot dog with a taser, which might be feasible.
After watching the video I'm still not clear on whether the gun can be rotated independently. It kind of looks like it only points and fires in the direction the machine is facing.
Basically I think almost anybody could jump to the side and avoid the line of fire before the operator could manage to line up a shot. This thing doesn't turn particularly fast. I think actually hitting someone with a taser dart would be nearly impossible.
Now the US cops won't even have to get off their car to shoot at black people
