Saw that on the news, insane :eek:

[ObnoxiousFrog]

That was on the History Channel a while back....
Supposed to be the most vicious deployable weapon ever. Think of how they're supposed to keep that thing cooled.

Go watch the video demos: http://www.metalstorm.com/

effing uber

[FearTheAtlas]

capable of firing at a rate of a million rounds a minute.


Holy...shiznit...:eek:

[Lonehunter]

I have GOT to get me one of those!!!!! :jawdrop:

[Khronos]

yah i watched a show on that...omg looks so leet.

i didnt read the article but the show had stuff like a bomber that could blanket a mine field real quick and disable all mines and stuff. thats so aweesome.

[Chanfan]

True, it could blow a nice path through a minefield.

Of course, if they are those new self-aware hopping / self-healing minfields, they might have to blow a path several times�

2 problems with that thing I think they forgot.

1. How will they control the heat so it does not burn up

2. How the hell are they going to stop the barrel from warping due to heat.

Cool idea though :)

Millions of dollars of money spent on research, what a waste. Just consult PR24 :lol:

You might want to consult the website of the manufacter and see how it works. Baiscally it has the bullets lined up behind one another in the barrel. Then has multiple barrels firing at the same time.

[Khronos]

ahh who cares if barrel melts when u already shot a million shells off anyways ;)

im sure they have ways to prevent it. :)

[mistled]

Yeah, I seriously doubt that they got to the point of speaking with the Pentagon without already having a plan of how to control such an obvious problem as the heat.

[diluted]

what a complete waste. :ugh:

[Robot]

i'm still waiting for my plasma rifles

c'mon, we can shoot a zillion rounds a second, okay, but what about LASERS?!

[EnorganiK]

sweet...unholy... :eek: that would definatly be a one many army...

[ObnoxiousFrog]

Minus the "man" part.

[NiteTiger]

Just imagine, for one split second, an infil CE being able to deploy these....

Oh, the possibilites fill me with a raging blood lust :)

Furthermore, IIRC (it has been about a year since I first saw the video in email) the barrels are preloaded with ordinance and disposable.

Personally, I'd rather have a grenade launcher that fires 600 rpm than a machine gun that fires 1,000,000 rpm. Anchored TR Pounder MAX, eat your heart out.
