Um dude, 16000 out of a CANNON with like 16 barrels and multiple barrels within barrels.

Like they said AND showed.


They showed a pistol-like something as well.

If it were used as a missile defense, it would cause a shitload of damage by itself, regardless of whether it destroyed the missile. those 16000 bullets fired per second have to land somewhere.. and it's not going to be very pretty =[

Impressive analysis. Are you a weapons/physics engineer?

Huh, I've searched for some details about this thingy, and apparently they use multiple rounds stacked in a sinlge barrel which are fired almost simultaneously (so no ammunition feeding). By building arrays of this barrels they achieve their theoretical 16000 RPS, however the barrels are single-use... So, their, so to say, damage over time is actually very doubtful.

I'd rather hire 1000 people and gave them Kalashinkovs if I'd like to make a metal storm

Another way to have more wars... How long will they learn that, everytime they make new weapon for "defense purpose" or some another bullshit, it will rather make some deadly human's weapon ?
Seriously why are we in AWE or something just because of this sh1t ?
I really want to burn those ppl who made this weapon for sure.

I dont like this idea, it will fuck up FPS games.

Imagine counter strike with a rapid fire weapon like this. Its like a hax, =[.


Ahahaha I know right? Isn't it about time mankind just developed robots to fight wars for us? I want my own robot suit. It would be soooo cool.

We have lasers, now we have electronic guns, we have robots... we can make robot suits... let's fuckin merge the technology already. kkadem

Ohhhh, Awww the pretty colors, and blinding pain....They said the weapon can be used all its own, with no one needed to aim it....Wonder if it is being remote operated or motion sensing....the latter would be.....dangerous.....
Maybe I could teach Osama that using a plane as a wraith or dropship would be 10x better than using it as a scourge..... ^^; -Flex

haha, advanced technology is very interesting.
so...if the weapon shot fire it would be ok?

How does you wanting to injure someone for creating a weapon (presumably for injuring others) make sense?

It's really good for what it does but it has little practical use.

Why? Well, first of all it costs a lot more than conventional weapons. You can't reload without switching a barrel or even the entire gun The rate of fire means more ammo consumtion so you'll have to carry a lot more shit around.

The way I see it is that this system is good for one thing and that is when you have to kill something as fast as you possibly can, which as high probability as possible, cost is not an issue and you only have to do it once. In other words when a cruise missile is about to hit your carrier.

i agree, i was curious as to why they invented a one shot weapon and what they plan on doing with it, besides possible flak v missle. Perhaps they have another trick up their sleeves.

Tesla research anyone?
I want to know how exactly this thing works, to see whether or not they are based on his experiments.

Ya Metalstorm is pretty awesome...

They had a record in Guiness for fastest firing weapon, it was a monstrosity with 36 barrels achieving 1,000,000+ rounds per minute...

My first reaction to this concept was "Holy shit, disgusting "

But then I considered: well, what is the point of having guns at all anyways? To kill people. Well, it's not like this gun will kill people "more dead" than any other gun. It just does it's job better than any other gun currently manufactured. And I suppose that, from a military viewpoint, you realistically must be concerned with the most efficient way to eliminate your enemies. So this is great for the military.

But iono, it still makes me uneasy when they sensationalize the newest most effective ways to kill peeps. If you've ever flipped through a "Soldier of Fortune" mag, you'll know what I mean. Fucking nutjobs.
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.
