    ARGH!! METAL STORM!!!

    heres some info how it works...
    Metal Storm is a 100% electronic operating system which allows for a wide variety of projectiles grouped in tube containers such as barrels, to be stored, transported and electronically fired. With no mechanical moving parts, Metal Storm has the capability to fire a wide variety of material including fire retardant, bullets, fertiliser and explosive charges.

    what a horrible system.. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> able to fire from 45,000 to 120,000 rounds
    per minute.. theres also a six barrel 9mm system with an electronically variable firing rate as high as
    240,000 rpm

    and the one on the pic above ,the 36 barrel prototype has fired a burst of 180 rounds at a rate exceeding one million rpm

    infos and some videos

    I've heard about this thing a couple years ago. And now that I hear about it again, the same thought comes to mind. What is the point?

    this video explains how it works... and why its so..uhm... |_33t
    <a href='http://www.metalstorm.com/videos/ms_introduction_mpg.zip' target='_blank'>Metalstorm introduction</a>






    one point of manys is to create a weapon with no moving parts to improove the firing speed of a weapon...
    a rapid firing grenade launcher that fires without reloading....
    other aplication would be a anti tank/personal mine(like a claymore mine) that can fire more that one time...
    anti air weapon systems to intercept stuff with a walls and walls and walls of bullets.... horrible stuff..

    law enforcment systems,handguns who can fire 3 round bursts with the recoil of only 1 round...because its so fast..
    makes aiming safer,and you bring more bullets at the same time into your target..

    you really have to see the videos on the metalstorm page to see how fast this stuff fires.. you cannot get this speed with conventional mechanics..thats the whole reason they research this stuff


    and heres a presentation video of the metalstorm area denial weapons system..
    it replaces a whole minefield with only 4 or 5 metal storm pods,against personal and tanks... it even can identify friend or foe..

    or a 4 barrel pistol.. with 6 rounds per barrell.. every barrel is able to hold different ammo,electronic ammo selection,and coded key ring safty (you wear a ring with a transponder chip in it,that enables only you to fire the gun.i bet you can even implant this chip into your hand.. like a identification chip for dogs..) sounds pretty much like the lawgiver..lol this pistol even talks to you <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    or a firefighting mortar that fires powder filled grenades at high rate of fire in hard to reach areas-- like bush or forestfires..
    or air burst foam grenades to cover a crashed plane into a foam carped from far distance

    i seen this beast in action about 2 months ago, it can fire like a million rounds, and when it does it sounds like a single shot.
