If a robot arm were made with the same layout of a human arm and hand, but arbitrarily powerful strength, would it be able to feasibly one-hand long arm weapons? Or is there some kind of physics problem with that?

Sure if the small delicate parts are strong enough.

It's certainly possible, but what's the context?

Are we talking about a Terminator-style humanoid robot where that robot arm is attached to a robot body, or is this a person with a prosthetic arm? Because in the latter case, the arm is only as strong as its connection to the person's body, no matter how strong it is itself.

Full robot. It's a strong motherfucker.

I expect so, loading or unjamming might be issue depending of the robot, but should work within limits. Now go, unleash your octo-operator upon the world, user.

Holding a weapon with two hands lets you control it more effectively.

One handing it might look cool but your ignoring the superior control afforded by using both hands.

Its like if you were the terminator you could probably fire a rifle one armed but you would still get better aim/less sway using both hands, same for melee weapons, using both hands on weapons designed for it gives you almost nothing but advantages.

Ya, the rest of your body is still subject to physics. Your arm is arbitrarily strong, but it's attached to your shoulder which is a very real and finite strength. Your shoulder is part of your body which is supported by your legs and feet, which have their own limitations

So basically you're clamping the gun in a vice grip which is bolted to the ground.

Wait, would making your bionic arm pull the trigger at a high speed be considered manufacturing a machine gun?

Can i cut off my hand for legal full auto?

well, it's like a tonnish?
Somewhere round there?
Maybe half a ton?

Why robot hand when you can go gun hand or evil dead this shit

Why not just have it integrated into the hand?

This, gonna need an exoskelly to really make it work and that kinda negates the point of the robot arm. Unless you need a grip like a hydraulic press for the good faps

your entire upper torso would have to be robotic, or else a high enough caliber would rip the robotic arm off your body. remember that the point of attachment is a weakness.

I don't understand why people don't get this. Your unstoppable robot arm isn't going to tear a metal door off it's hinges, it's going to pull your scrawny body and smash it into the wall, or tear itself right off of whatever organic medium it's attached to.

It's a versatile combat robot.
That's also why it comes with the knowledge skill chip system, so you can slot it up for repair tasks or field-crime lab duty.

The solution is clear. If meat cannot handle the power of steel, replace more meat with more steel.

Haha, yeah.
I'm trying to figure out how big a gun I should put in my robots hands when he isn't two handing tank cannons.

Roll for it.

You still need to stablize it to the body. It woudn't be reasonable, the Moment it creates having a force at that distance is bad.

What would be better would be flashing your arm BIOS with an illegal "full auto" finger BIOS.

I recall reading a wh40k book about a skitarii who had rails attached to the inside of his arms, and he has two cavities in his chest that held his guns, so when he wanted them they'd just slide down into his hands. Something like that would be neat

Maybe attaching said hand to a partial exo-skeleton like the type Russia uses to brace the arm and legs? As long as they're touching the ground, the floor takes the recoil.

would that actually even be illegal? it's still just one trigger pull per shot.

The weird part is that the ATF doesn't regulate arms strong enough to tear turrets off of tanks.

One handing falls into a leverage problem; the additional control afforded by two hands is a function of not only additional strength, but points of control balanced along the weapon.

To be accurate holding a long arm with a single point of contact, you have a weak link problem extending all the way from the hands to the torso; any joint insufficiently strong and stable will be unable to control the weapon as the inertia of the weapon (especially the long barrel) cannot be adequately dampened. Hand, wrist, shoulder and all the stabilizing core and chest muscles all factor into holding a weapon steady.

is right, but even weapons with negligible relative recoil to the robotic actuators would still need to be manipulated accurately.

there are more muscles involved in swinging a weapon than just those in the arm. This always triggered me when some 100lbs slut with a robot arm can predator lift a grown man.

like if you want superhuman strength you should prioritize upgrading the largest muscles.

No, but you would probably be able to punch hella hard with it

so the robot hand has an immense, vice like grip, sturdily attached to a body the weight of a car, i think it will flop all over the place it cant be done

>visitor
This is now an AYY LMAO thread

So, the thighs?

Why copy human anatomy? You could have a lower receiver bolt directly to the robot and just have a simple servo or solnoid operate the trigger. No need for some overcomplicated overengineered crap.

WE GOT BATTLE DROIDS

Alright, Tech Priest, calm down now

For ease of weapon swapping.
And because hands are super useful for self repairs, making arrests, lifting things, and making more robots.

THE FLESH IS WEAK

even assuming you could solve all the problems with durability and strength of both the cybernetics and the body itself, you'd still have the momentum and inertia of the entire fucking weapon pulling the user around.

Basically the user would have to have not only immense strength and dexterity, but be very heavy too. A weapon that weighs a significant fraction of the user's weight would drag them around. You know Guts' weapon in the Golden Arc from Berserk? That's about as big as literally anyone could use to any degree, and that's provided they are the strongest person to ever live and then some.

No, movement comes from your core you retard, your hands and arms are attached to something dumbass.

Engineering a custom receiver to mate common upper receivers to would be a fraction of the price compared to engineering the robot hand.

Fuck. Remove the grip on an AR lower and have the lower bolt to the robot via the grip portion of the AR lower. Have a threaded tube stick out of the robot and screw the lower on it so it acts as both the buffer tube and the gun mount.

Those would both be easy and cheap as fuck, more secure than a human style grip, and use off the shelf AR lower receivers which ever USA military and law enforcement agency is already equipped with.

Nope, 500 million dollar human hand copy seems more practical.

Well, it IS the more expensive model.
Let's not even get into how much more expensive self replication ability makes them.
