The $200,000, armed version will carry standard-issue Squad Automatic Weapons, either the M249, which fires 5.56-millimeter rounds at a rate of 750 per minute, or the M240, which can fire about 700 to 1,000 7.62-millimeter rounds per minute. The SWORDS can fire about 300 rounds using the M240 and about 350 rounds using the M249 before needing to reload.

they're already working on the beginnings of something like that, now its just used to carry heavy loads and junk, its basically just a exoskeleton type thing not quite mechwarrior type stuff...yet.

You mean like that thing from "Aliens" that Sigourney Weaver used to kill that alien? On a side note...that really pissed me off because I wanted an alien to fuck up her shit.
