Chapter 54: Metacraft Cybernetics (1)

Metacraft Cybernetics (1)

By accessing the emergency mobilization line, I could get a brief overview of the facilities registered there.

Metacraft Cybernetics.

This is a defense contractor that develops technology related to virtual reality. However, the re

The subsequent shooting demonstration was impressive. The sound of 5.56mm NATO rounds echoed through the facility. With their fire selectors set to semi-auto, the robots fired in point-shooting stance without any noticeable recoil. Each target had just one hole, with all rounds grouping into that initial opening.

Of course, the hole widened slightly as shots strayed a little, but it was still remarkable. Moreover, even though they were firing semi-auto, the time between shots was incredibly short.

“Switch to full-auto.”

[Command received.]

The robots responded in unison. They instantly unleashed an overwhelming barrage of fire. The grouping widened as the hole in the target’s head grew rapidly, but the shots still didn’t stray from the head.

Click-clack.

[Reloading.]

The robots swapped out magazines in under a second. Their eerily precise movements reminded me of someone.

“That’s Artemis’ handiwork, isn’t it?”

[Yes. It’s the 7th of the 13 reload routines she provided. The others had higher failure rates, but this one completes reloads with a 93% success rate in 0.8 seconds, or 1.2 seconds if it fails.]

“Impressive.”

What followed was even more astonishing—mobile shooting. Unlike standard military and police training, where you move slowly while maintaining aim, these robots dashed around, often diagonally, while still hitting targets with remarkable accuracy, focusing on the chest and head. They had been programmed to perfectly compensate for the muzzle's movement depending on their speed and direction.

[Would you like to take a shot, Administrator?]

“Of course. I’m worried I might be rusty.”

Though, rusty or not, I knew I wouldn’t shoot better than these robots.

[Combat Unit! Alpha 5!]

One of the robots handed me a rifle with a sharp, precise motion.

“You really programmed them for everything, huh?” I chuckled as I began shooting for the first time in a while.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ah.”

[Hahaha.]

Looks like I’ll need to zero it in first.
