besides the rifle (which i assume is a railgun) this robot looks like something that could be out and about today.
Also the twin cameras for depth perception and the head gun are nice touches

Just search for PETMAN on YouTube and you'll find an awesome Video of a robot looking almost like this one ( minus the Head ) walking on a treadmil, doing squats, pushups, etc...

Might want to check the BIGDOG and MULE Robots also made by Boston Dynamics.

If you notice, there are actually two guns in the head. The one of the top feeding from the linked-munitions cable and then another on the bottom feeding from a P90 style magazine at the chin. 14.2mm rail gun though? That's a gnarly projectile. For comparison, the 50. BMG that most CoDfags have a hard-on for is about 12.7mm. And since the majority of damage done by a magnetically propelled weapon is through the transfer of kinetic energy and not tissue damage, that gun is going to fuck things up. That is why in most science fiction, rail guns and coil guns fire projectiles between the 2mm-8mm range.

This design isn't original, per se.

Just in case if you wondering where this piece of concept art came from. It's from a trailer to a short film called Keloid. The short film is produced by Big Lazy Robot VFX

^The short film your seeing here is made ENTIRELY out of cgi, no live action scenes were takin

mr_jello was referring to the things on the sides of the head, not the two holes in the front.
