Firing a decent .308 round at max speed would be $642,140.00 a minute, just for the ammo. If it's .50 cal: $2,450,000.00 a minute at *least*. Sneeze while at the trigger, and you're bankrupt.
@AussieLAFO I have to tip my hat to the Aussies on this, I can imagine having these on helicopters, recon vehicles, APCs, maybe tanks, naval ships, and aircraft too
this actually could replace du shells for armored target, I think big reason this company hasnt really gone anywhere is because its way ahead of it's time
thats pretty gay i mean what if something happens to the battery or the electronic systems inside the gun on a battlefield i mean isnt the weapons that dont rely on electricity more reliable
@ScubaLumberjack "Mary had a little lamb", of course, that's past tense since the lamb in question got in front of one of the guns and tuned into a fluffy pink cloud...
what would be the point of this? it probably wouldnt penetrate a tank and its more then enough to kill a group of ppl? this is over kill at its best. it could do the same job with half this power, bullets etc
@malcolmccairns remotely controlled death machine, no chance of casualties as the controllers are safe in a bunker, upscale it (bigger pipes) and it is effective anti air, put it on a boat and it would destroy a ship in 1 second.. put it on a plane and it could annihlate pretty much anything near instantly, replace it with grenades and you have a 3 shot grenage launcher attached to your weapon, make it the size of a pistol and you have a pistol with serious stopping power.. use ur imagination..
@Jyrki1964 It has financial value though, the ammo manufacturers would laugh their way to the bank! And the only people crying their way to the bank would be the tax payers as usual.
But yeah, ammo based weapons must end at some point, with more and more energy being available in smaller and smaller packets, it makes more sense to move towards no-ammo weaponry.
what do you mean you cant see the application of this tech? I can think of many applications from area denial to missile defense at short range, not to mention antiaircraft applications.
You know...I'm trying to see this as more then a d*ck-waving marketing ploy piece of nonsense...but I cannot think of a single practical application for the 'metal storm' 'technology' ie tying lots of guns together, that other things don't already do better and cheaper.
Metal Storm Limited is a Brisbane, Australia based research and development company that specializes in electronically initiated superposed load weapons technology and owns the proprietary rights to the electronic ballistics technology invented by J. Mike O'Dwyer. Metal Storm represents both the name of the company and the technology. The company maintains a subsidiary in Arlington, Virginia, U.S.A.
Aussies are europeans. Like americans. They can invent a gun like this one.
Go aussies. In 70's Jali Timari of Finland invented an assault rifle that compensated the recoil so that the gun could be made much shorter and still be accurate. It was called Jatimatic. The gun was stolen and became a huge success around the world.
the saddest part of this video is the fact that weapons manufacturers make them for profit and not solely for homeland security. selling this kind of advanced weapon to the 'enemy' is nothing short of advancing warfare purely for money.
Imagine how peacefult the world would be if the people that devised the ultimate weapons didn't sell them to countrys we could go to war with
You know, you CAN reload these things. They replace the entire barrel with a preloaded one. A trained crew could reload this thing in a minute or two I'd wager.
lmfao @ the 1M rpm, sounds like a single shot, that rpm is... well its completely unneccessary, if you aim, you don't need to fire that much, and you don't need a very powerful round either, hence excessively large explosive devices died out, you just need to hit the right spot. And no, that is not what she said.
i dont think reloading it is a big deal, originally it was designed so that you just swapped out the barrels..the barrels are kinda like roman candles.
I was really expecting this technology to take off, even bought some stock in the company..LOL.. but hasnt happened yet.
If hooked up to the right targetting equipment a weapon like this would be the ultimate in anti missle defense for ships.
@PivotXL1 yeah, which is why rate of fire doesn't really apply, a shotgun can fire 10 projectiles in .01 seconds, giving it a rate of fire of 60,000 rpm...oh no, wait....
@shudador Well, seeing as this gun fires single bullets and can waste the 25,000 bullets it holds in 2 seconds 1 million is a good estimate (besides most of the small fragments of the shotgun are not as big as a full bullet).
@PivotXL1 you've missed the point, rate of fire is redundant if you cannot reload, besides 12 gauge pellets are about 8mm, so yes they are comparable.
@shudador They are just giving you a rate per minute as all weapons do. An Uzi is said to do 900 bullets per minute but it doesn't hold 900 bullets does it?
@WizenedWarrior You don't want high rpm, you want something slow and accurate. You just need to destroy the brain. If you try using suppressing fire on zombies, it won't do a thing, you'll just get attacked by zombies with lots of bullet wounds.
@CarlosJoseMunez88 I don't think you understand. To have enough dakka would be just below having too much dakka, and you can't have too much dakka, therefore you can't have enough dakka. Because then there would be too much dakka. Except there's no such thing as too much dakka.
@CarlosJoseMunez88 DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
