What's /k/'s thoughts/opinions on the Talos program

Fucking meme shit for PR because some faggot flag officer saw the Iron Man movie (he didn't even read the comics, that bitch. Because if the did, they'd shoot straight for Extremis.).

It exists solely to appeal to Halo-playing boys with high pitched voices.

Very useful. Anyone who says otherwise has no clue what it actually does or its actual uses.

First, it allows you to carry more stuff. Even while carrying more heavier loads than previously, the actual load is lesser.

Second, because of the above, the soldier can be protected more fully against rifle rounds. It doesn't matter if you're an elite special forces operator or not, an untrained and illiterate child could gun you down as you crossed the fatal funnel all the same. With additional armor protection, you're not in as much danger from that. Sure, literally standing on top of an IED or being directly hit with an RPG will probably kill you, as would a heavy machinegun round. However, these aren't for patrolling. They're for kicking down doors, where those threats are definitely less of an issue. And even if they were a major issue, a soldier without them is far more vulnerable than one with them.

Knowing litterally nothing about this program in particular I can say that any exoskeleton system needs to be: cheap, reliable, idiot proof (relatively) and simple to maintain. Its all prototypes and unrealistic expectations now, but we will eventually see some of the technology applied in the program in widespread use if it proves useful. The OICW had to be the monstrosity that it was before the XM25 could come around so that's something.

How the fuck are you meant to shoulder a rifle?

Screw shouldering a rifle how are you supposed to move at a moderate pace / sprint and breathe at the same time

I think a big problem with these is puree source. batteries simply aren't up to Schiff for these things to be feasible and alternative energy sources aren't scalable

I appreciate this post, even if nobody else seems to.

Also, am I the only one who's still scratching my head over how they set up the whole Aldmeri Dominion thing and then never really did anything with it?

You're not.
PEQ laser for aiming.

That's the dumbest airsoft load-out I've ever seen. I mean who the fuck just cuts a hole in their old paintball mask and sticks two pairs of binoculars through it?
