These things would probably kill anything alive in the "live fire" zone. Sounds like a great way to get war crimes laws updated. There is no way use of this thing wouldn't coincide with clear-cut massacre of the local population.

And didn't the alien creators of Doomsday stop when they realized their "machine" couldn't distinguish friend from foe. And he ended up killing superman. Is that what we want?

What? Live fire zone? This thing isn't automated. A human still has to aim and pull the trigger. However, instead of having dust in your eyes, ringing in your ears, sweat all over, and your buddy's blood all over you and dying next to you, a human driver for this robot can much much better decisions in battle.
