WATCH POWER ARMOR IN ACTION.

---

The National Guard deployed a recently-commissioned unit of heavy riot control power armor exoskeletons to the front lines of the riots in Waterville, Maine.

---

This state of the art armor is able to repel almost any attack from a civilian rioter, and has been sent forward alongside infantry armed with pepper bullets and sponge rounds to contain rioters.

---

"It's an uphill battle, but we've still got it contained," said Lieutenant Shawn Bhatti from inside his full-enclosure suit.

---

"I can subdue a dozen rioters in this thing, and I've got a dozen men and women with me."

Video of the power armor in action will be streamed on our website.
