There was a rather disturbing recent TV adaptation of The War of the Worlds[0] that also featured similar killer robots. I found it particularly terrifying, because it nailed down an aspect of realism most action and sci-fi shows purposefully violate - those robots had accurate aim. There isn't much firefighting or daring escapes. You spot one of them (or don't). It spots you. A second later, a bullet goes through your head. Then the robot continues to look for other humans and single-shot killing them on sight.
Almost all the evil robot/AI movies, shows and games give people an impression that robotic weapons are tough, but pretty bad, and have to rely on overwhelming force or sheer numbers to be dangerous. In reality, computers can think, observe and act much faster and with much higher precision than humans. A military-grade skynet robot with a gun may be stupid when it comes to tactics, but will be more than capable of scoring a headshot from a distance, mid-flight, on first shot, before you even know it's there.
(And of course the real reality is that we already have much more terrifying and effective killer robots than anything wielding a firearm https://xkcd.com/652/.)
