US Army reveals 'third arm' exoskeleton that could help soldiers hit the perfect shot every time

• The US Army has released footage of a 'third arm' exoskeleton prototype
• The device weighs less than four pounds and takes weight off of soldiers' arms
• It has been tested with M249 and M240B machines guns weighing 27 pounds

The US Army has released footage of an exoskeleton that looks like something out of Ridley Scott's iconic film Alien.

The device, dubbed the 'Third Arm', looks like a harness and takes the weight of weapons off of soldiers' arms.

Infantrymen have been required to 'shoot, move and communicate' throughout history, all while carrying weapons weighing close to 30 pounds.
