No. The piece of equipment has a very specific task, a 'one of' type of task you might say.

That I can't say, but you are focusing on the wrong thing.

It's a piece of equipment with a very specific task. The photo is only a small section of an important part, but not the entire piece of equipment.

And no it is not a weapon.

So we have a sophisticated piece of equipment that does one specific task with some robotics involved....that really narrows it down...

Was it made in Canada?
