Army To Give Soldiers a Third Arm For Their Weapon

Having to carry heavy weapons is not ideal for soldiers. Army researchers are working on a Third Arm for soldiers that serves as a passive stabilizing device that takes the load off of them and improves survivability.

This prototype has been tested with M249 and M240 machine guns, with the latter weighing 27lbs. This wearable device can take the weight of those weapons completely off the soldiers’ arms.
