“A .68-caliber Tippmann-A5 paintball action gun with camera mounted on a small remotely operated tank can go to any extent in vulnerable area and hit the target accurately, without risking the lives of our policemen,” he said.
He added that due to the caliber of the gun it can also be loaded with pepper-ball rounds for remote crowd control.
Sources added that due to bulk loader tank under moving robotic tank, it can shoot three rounds in one go and adjustable mount cradle with strong remote control makes it useful for all forces.
“The gadget will be deployed at vulnerable zones and it will automatically target the stone pelters, the official said.
