A video of a robotic dog firing bullets from a machine gun mounted on its back has left netizens petrified. The video that has been going viral on Twitter has already amassed more than 7 million views and 26,000 retweets.

The video shows a robo dog firing a sub-machine gun mounted on its back in snowy mountainous terrain. Some users have drawn parallel to an episode of popular Netflix series ‘Black Mirror' - evoking fear among Internet users of a dystopian future, which would be controlled by robots.

“All the people who laughed off the “worrywarts” years ago for freaking out about the Funny Dancing Robot Dogs (tm) should be forced to watch this video once a day for the remainder of the year,” commented the Twitter user who posted the video.

Interestingly, the robo dog moves easily when taking aim, but barely manages to handle the recoil of the gun.
