From the recently - post Life magazine archives comes photographic evidence of a pistol - packing robot that prey Michael Crichton ’s Westworld and Yul Brynner’sGunslingerby some 13 yr . We ’ve got more pictures after the jump . Alas , the archives do n’t say us much more than that the robot was built by Robert Wolfe and that the pictures were call for in 1960 , so it ’s unimaginable ( even with the help of the interwebs ) to figure out just why telly worker Mike Connors was visualise in an seek to outdraw the mechanical marshal ( perhaps it was to publicize James Scott Connors then - current cop drama , Tightrope ) . Crichton excellently took Brynner ’s character in The Magnificent Seven as his optical stirring for The Gunslinger — but Wolfe ’s “ pistol - shooting golem ” look awfully conversant , too .
“ side arm shot robot invented by Robert Wolfe . ”
“ TV thespian , Mike Connors , try out to outdraw shooting iron - shooting golem . ”
“ Robot equipped with fast - standoff excogitation shoot it out with live gunner . ”
