Dredd, repeating himself: "I said: 'hot shot'" Gun: "Ohhh you're talking to me! Got it!"

[@Wayoutthere]

I would ARREST that gun for a unlicensed malfunction in the line of DUTY

[@SquatterLoki]

The gun's name is Lawgiver, by the way

[@hammer1349]

I mean standard voice command is 'incendiary' so I suppose it might have needed repetition as like conformation. Either than or the first time he didn't engage the voice activation and only did so when the gun was ready and aimed on target

[@SquatterLoki]

@@hammer1349 Nah. Knowing the badass Dredd, he did that on purpose.

[@misterc1099]

My guess is it didn't recognize the command, I hear you hot shot, but when he said I said(pause) hot shot. It recognized it. Or plot reasons

[@ThreepwoodForest]

It's the sort of movies they used to make in the 80s and 90s - but somehow managed to use CGI to enhance it, instead of destroy it. The way they talk too is brave, it's comic like but somehow seems gritty and realistic. This is an absolute masterpiece and they got it so right.

Lawgiver is such a crazy weapon. It just has such a range that Dredd never needs any other type of weapon to kill pretty much anyone or anything lol.

[@SquatterLoki]

The best part about this scene is that Dredd did not approach the situation with his gun trained on the criminal. It was to his side and he was speaking in an even calm tone. He really was just hoping to negotiate with him. The dude is a death machine and he was still hoping to get the hostage out of this and take in the perp all without killing if he can help it.

[@LordTyph]

His role isn't cruelty. Even for an engine of justice, mercy is an important part of it. And cruelty is justice without mercy.

I love the fact that Judge gives 2 options as a negotiation. Not 1 but 2. Gives the criminal a chance of redemption.

[@RidwanGosal]

There's no redemption. He was set for life in prison or death. The crime he committed was too much for the justice system to be lenient about.

[@kemanorel3110]

That's just how Dredd works in the comics. He's brutal, but fair, and he does have leniency if someone is smart enough to comply.

[@Fraggr92]

Life without parole is not redemption lol. That's just an extended death sentence. Throw in the fact that he'd be sitting in an isolation cube and it's even more of a joke. If i was the criminal then i'd choose death too, even if it was by means of "hot shot". You want redemption? Give him a few years in prison and then let him back out. Let him choose the life that he wants to lead. If he's smart he'll learn from his mistakes and choose to live properly. THAT'S redemption. Not rotting away in a cell for the rest of your life.

[@andrewames247]

Perhaps I'm looking too deeply into this, but Dredd's use of the Hot Shot round is genius! He fried the crooks nervous system, quite literally, preventing him from reflexively pulling the trigger on his death. Especially since the crook had excellent trigger discipline with his finger outside of the trigger guard...

[@danielstephens1185]

I figured aim for the...I think they call it Vermillion Line? That looked like some kind of phosphorus round. So yeah, burn his nerves out, same result. Brain sends signal to pull trigger, no spinal cord to carry the message. And no brain either after that. Ouch...

I don't really know what the burning was about, in the comics, "hot shot" rounds are another name for heatseekers

[@danielstephens1185]

@@Lyrikle Probably had to make a few small changes. A heat-seeker round would have either targeted the hostage or, since that looks like a eatery, the nearest active cooking source. I'm guessing.

[@Lyrikle]

@@danielstephens1185 I think a heatseeker would actually go for the perp in spite of that, after all, his gun was recently fired, he's panicking, been running, and males produce more body heat on average than females anyway.

@@Lyrikle maybe, but there's a steam source nearby, that's going to be hotter than the perp's biothermal.

I suspect anti material, it could probably ignite an exposed fuel tank or something quite nicely, or set clothing on fire without outright killing someone directly

[@doceideer7993]

I think it's a magnesium shell meant to burn through solid metal obstacles or damage high-impact armor. Provided I'm right it can feasibly melt its way through an engine block killing a vehicle with one shot. And he used it against a soft meaty skull. It was not instant and it was not painless. I can only assume the Geneva convention means dick in this world because using such a shell on a human target would be 5 different kinds of illegal along the lines of War Crimes IRL. Same with the incendiary shot he uses in Peach Trees. However, I am sure that was using phosphorus and therefore WAY WAY WORSE!!! Why you may ask? (rhetorically speaking) Because of splash damage and that it causes horrific injuries without the intent to kill. Again IRL, Very Very Illegal. My point: This world must be next level messed up to allow such weaponry to be used at all let alone be made available to a Street Judge for regular use. This is one Sci-fi world I want nothing to do with save for watching Dredd mess up criminals.

[@emperornortoni2871]

@@doceideer7993 I like the magnesium idea, but I'm not sure how that'd work. If you lodged the round in solid metal, relatively little of the surface area of the round would be exposed to oxygen to make it burn. Plus, based on the fact that it didn't exit the back of the perp's skull, it seems like it doesn't have much in the way of penetration power, so I'm not sure what good it'd be against heavy metal targets. I agree these definitely constitute crimes against humanity. However, in the context of the Dredd universe, the perp was a Bad Guy who definitely deserved to have his skull melted from the inside. 😉
