1. Well in 1995, that is what swat teams used.

So in fact, it was a realistic depiction of what a swat team would have.

I'm glad you found the autonomous robots, and liquid-metal-people-blender realistic.

Or the we have to go back in time naked 'cause you can't send non-organic material back in time, even though both the liquid metal T-1000 terminator and Arnold's T-800/T-850 character consisted almost entirely of non-organic material, yet that's ok 'cause we sent them back in the buff. We all know hydrogen nuclear fuel cells are organic... Right?

Or a that a 750+ pound Harley Davidson Fatboy frame can withstand a 15+ foot drop onto concrete with a 2,000 pound terminator sitting on it and not blow out both the suspension and tires.
