This is amazing. I remember reading about the exoskeleton project a while back and it looks like they're making a lot of progress.

Benefits to cripples aside, though...

Eh, you'd go Doc Ock?

Y'see... this is the reason I had wanted to get em: It's basically be like becoming inhuman. I mean, seriously, you would be able to hack those things, i'm sure, to turn off the sensations while keeping the range of movement. You'd have an arm that was not able to feel pain and still works like a real arm. It's perfect.

Now go fight someone!

If hacking them, I'd try, if possible, not to turn off the sensations completely, just the pain indications. That way you'd still have a lot more control over what you do, as in the arms would still signal to your brain if you grab or touch something just how much force is being used.
