  • Just for fun eh? I'll take two please. :)

  • The Death Jet Printer, to erase the enemy from the equation, neutralise minefields, delete incoming ASM's or other balistic threats, deter Top Gun fighter jocks from entering airspace and generally making the bad guys day even worse, yep, designed in Australia for war's coming to a theatre near you. I handled the O'Dwyer handgun at a military expo, and it is an impressive piece of kit, did't get to fire it though, being bio-elecrically linked to the authorised shooter is also impressive.

  • Why are we seeing this on the intern?  Is the only secret we have remaining is the circumstances of Barack Obama's and his personal history. This is not joke if not a hoax.

  • I gotta get one of these hahaha

  • how would you reload tho?

    the handgun and the multi barrel one?

    anyone?

  • 240p... we meet again

  • 2:25 image plus the "very low energy requirement" comment, just wondering if it is implying the thing can run on USB power?

  • for the military, civilians, or just for fun.....

    *someone in al qaeda is smiling

  • excellent solution to the cockroach (i.e. palestinian) problem

  • Aussies dont need tanks. Just Armadas of these things :D

  • Imagine - you buy a gun and only you can fire it! So if a murder is committed you are the prime suspect because hackers can't possibly hack the gun to make it look like it was you... right?

    I can see the benefits - kids not being able to operate a gun, no accidental firings, etc.

  • sky net is coming!

    

  • Manufactured in Australia bitches.

  • the background music sucks

  • FPSRussia needs to do a vid with this stuff.

  • Santa all I want for christmas this year...

  • Now how do reload the tubes after they are even partly spent?

    And wouldn't it be a good idea cut the tubes into two parts: the first length of tube that contains the projectiles and charges, and the second length of tube could be a rifled barrel. just like a revolver has a cylinder loaded with a round lined up with the barrel

  • is it EMP proof;)

  • @jeremyversteegh not right now however cause it runs off a computer all you have to do is plug in a system that can mesure electromagnetic fields and then once the fields reach a mark the system will shut down the computer and turn it back on after the field level has reduced.

  • If the people who devised this hellish weapons system would apply their ingenuity to solving problems instead of creating them, our world would be a much better place.

  • Judge Dredds gun becoming real!!

  • wat caliber

  • Skynet. One step closer to reality, every day :)

  • '

    dont have to show this video in here,,,

    china and ussr russia can copy steal from this idea

  • @bestamerica USSR Russia? What is this 1990? Not to mention did you fail history?

  • @bestamerica Its funny because China is our ally and the USSR doesn't exist anymore

  • Man, just imagine a wall of over a million .50 rounds or even .22.... Nothing would survive!

  • @SpetzySniper Ha, think about caseless mini-sabot rounds with a tungsten flechette like SLAP-T flying out from above. You could dive under a lightly-armored car and it would still get you. Very lethal weapons system.

  • WOW!!! : /

  • amazing

  • Listen, you idiots who say "reloading takes too long" you're wrong. It has a preload tube, similar to pennies in a coin roll which you fill the barrel with bullets then continuing fire immediately. that takes a maximum of 2 seconds.

  • And this class will make the black market very rich

  • note to self, Stay the fuck away from an open printer

  • so, it fires a lot of bullets straight down? and probably is one the most worst weapons in the world to reload.

    From the demonstrations in this video it seems that the A-10 already does a much better job.

  • I know there are no moving parts, but how much would the accuracy be affected by the systems inability to add rifling to the barrel? Is it offset by the huge amount of bullets or is there some other way to cause the projectiles to spin?

  • @onedudetwotube Individual accuracy can be improved by having far less recoil, but overall this weapon is less designed to be pinpoint like a sniper rifle and more about general accuracy. I'm not as knowledgeable about the system but I'm sure someone else here would be able to tell you more.

  • A lot of you people play too much COD. An actual EMP powerful enough to effect the weapon is highly unlikely to appear in modern combat. It's even less likely to be in the hands of terrorists. Of course it will eventually become a major problem and they'll fix it.

  • a strong magnetic field and those "electronic weapons" are shit

  • @ileavecomments24 disables enemy weapons to if they got the same thing

  • So the barrels are sold with the ammunition? Does that mean that when you're out of ammo you buy a new barrel?

  • Stupid weapon

    

  • @anbrin How?

  • robots and technology are taking over the world

  • F4= death

  • i wish this existed about 70 years ago, then i would "print" all over the natzis >=D

  • @RomanNumural9 oh and one more note, hehe surgical precision, i has idea

  • ...suddenly I'm scared to death of my printer...

  • Clearly some of you weren't listening. The voiceover clearly stated that an apache with MS pods could run on flashlight batteries. Also, in the event that a bullet isn't fired out of the barrel, the bullet behind it will push it out, and thats the worst that can happen.

  • I really like how it's very modular. You could have it in a pod, one of those boxes, or in a pistol. I imagine you could put multiple barrels in a 127mm (diameter) tube. Since it apparently can run on the equivalent of flashlight batteries without an external power source, one could use put it in the tube and use it as a submunition, with time-activation triggered by, say, the force of a mini chute deploying. Four could be packed in a CBU casing and used like a CBU-97 but for antipersonnel duty.

  • @samolet900 it'll be a snipers wet dream when they finish their new rifle

  • aussie aussie oi oi oi were good arnt we. ps solid state means simple no moving parts :0.Any ways must be good the yanks loved it :0.

  • it is a good concept, except for a few problems:

    1) the more bullets loaded in the barrel, the shorter the distance travelled by the bullet, and thus less accuracy

    2) potential for one bullet to fire behind another, and blow up the weapon

    3) front heavy weapons

    4) any emp or such could make the weapon inoperable

  • @GreyWolf131 "1)[...]" front bullets are also lacking power

    "2) [...]"

    this is actually a failsafe of the weapon against jamming

    one bullet supposedly can push out any misfired bullets in front of it without blowing up the barrel

    whether that works or not i don't know

    another disadvantage are bulky/heavy/expensive magazines (which is a huge disadvantage for handheld weapons in particular)

  • Comment removed

  • I like normal guns better, plus I can just imagine what would happen if the electronics went wrong in battle that's a bunch of dead soldiers

  • @ScorchArtist electronics don't go wrong! Mechanical moving parts wear out, deform, brake and "go wrong" more easily than any electronics. Electronics can be only jammed or fried. In case of wiring electronics jamming isn't possible. System with such round ejection system and electronic ignition requires much less lubricants and maintenance. It is as simple as a tube and electronic trigger. Much simplier construction than M-16 with its tiny parts in trigger and bolt mechanism. Simple = reliable!

  • @BitnikGr the problem lies in the potential for faulty wiring, running out of batteries, and in an NBC combat environment, EMP. while being produced at high quality control probably removes most faulty wiring, in wartime production, you need to be able to make weapons simply and quickly

  • One problem, with this desighn, I think, is that cartriges are expensive..

    Think about it, everyone can basically make simple led bullets, to keep the battle going.

    It doesn't require a machine to produce such ammunitions.

    But this baby, well try making this ammunition by hand..I can't see it happen.

    So it's a great idea, yes, but it's just for high tech armies.

    Then there's the point that you probably (from what I see) requires a lot of ammo.

    So it's scarce ánd it's too easy to go trough!

  • @huibruben The thing with this thing is that you actually can fire as many ammo you want. It is programmable. In all military history the higher rate of fire was considered as benefit. This one can reach 1mln rounds per minute, but it doesn't mean that you always have to fire at such rate.

    Costs always drop down when things come into mass production. Rounds for modern AK, M4/16 are not hand-made neither. But probably you are right. MS rounds as cheaper they might become, won't ever be cheap.

  • "MANUFACTURED IN AUSTRALIA" how could they beat us to that!!

  • @toro199999 HAHAHA because we Aussies arent busy starting wars we have been looking at making weapons that will make people not want to fight us and this is just the beginning. Oh by the way it is backed with USA money so its costing us nothing apart from once we upgrade you guys get the old versions and as we hold all the rights to the weapons you will not be allowed to change them or try to make your own versions either.

  • only thing if this is the future then emp bombs are gonna become popular on the battle field as it would disable these weapons rendering an army useless, only advantage i see for a mechanical weapons system but other than the emp metal storm is extremely impressive and devastating weapon sure to be the future of weapons

  • @mikeMusic00 na emp takes eminence amounts of electricity to basically implode on it self like super nova and emp is too wide area to be effective use of fire support

  • @deamon2000dude it's called an emp bomb they make them it's not incomprehensible if metal storm weapons replace mechanical based weapons emp's are going to be being manufactured and researched to fit every occasion metal storm is still very low profile but there weakness is so obvious still a very impressive weapon though i believe it might be the future of weaponry

  • @mikeMusic00 na emp takes eminence amounts of electricity to basically implode on it self like super nova and emp is too wide area to be effective use of fire support

    now if you could fire grouped upper atmosphere discharges in a beam to target like hitting atom the size of base ball with a jack hammer so to speak id like to see what THAT would do but idk if that's even pheasable to pull of for it would have to gather thing com-bust in line not sphere form o well only time will tell

  • @deamon2000 The benefit here ís probably that you can either choose to fire either a hard target or a soft (fleshy) target. It's like the plasmarifle in the science fiction movies: a laser/ plasma charge kills vehicles as well as infantry units it allways does damage to those targets. eating trough them.

    But, it's expensive, you need machines and factories that produce this, and it's scarce because of it's high tech intake, while lead bullets can be made by hand.

    Prolonged battle requires it

  • Think about the fact that a gun doesn't necessarily have to be the conventional shape. This will make airport screening even worse.

  • And exactly how is the the plane-mounted metal storm ANY better than GPS/laser guided bombs or cluster bomsb? For starters, the plane has to fly directly over the target (which might be shooting at the plane) at a low altitude, plus it's probably less accurate and powerful...

  • @322978743 well fore starters that's a rough draft of how it Could be used it could fire on super sonic fly by's with calc gps point to target pre fireing as a calculation of how far * how fast so they be dead after or before depending on force of un guided projectile fly by but with fireing a few miles out

    and since there unguided no jamming would work !... if that makes any sence its like 4 am here so im sleep typing

  • Just like ordering a printer to print. Murder is just a click away.

  • Don't you love how smooth the narrator is? Sounds like one of those "Call now!..." adds... "Want sixpack abs...? laser sharpened kitchen knive sets... Electronic controlled weapon of doom...?"

    By the way, one nice use for it would be aircraft defensive systems, an array, pod, whatever, mounted on tail to counter incoming missiles.

  • AUSSIE invented.owned and made using yank cash...but yanky wankers try to clan it is theirs cos they gave money for it to be made.. we you can fuck off .. dont like it, how about we turn the guns on you

  • SCHINKEN

  • @Jucher1996 SCHIIIIIIIINKEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Gonna come in handy if our alien neighbors decide to not come in peace.

  • @SADFACE1000 an EMP is basically a nuke how many nukes can they make in the end we'll win

  • @DephOfMybrain hippie

  • STUPID TECHNOLOGY!! Looks cool and impressive but is very impractical come real combat. WASTE OF MONEY.

  • @anbrin please explain how this is impractical?

  • Comment removed

  • @wrylie188 How long would it take to reload that thing and how many rounds would be wasted.

  • @anbrin I agree, it wouldn't be an efficient hand-held weapon, unless heavily modified, but think how it could revolutionize missile and artillery combat, reloading would be easy compared to modern artillery, and the power would be devastating. Also: The point of metal storm is spread. By using different levels of propellant shells can travel varying distances, and applying it to aircraft bombing would make it absolutely devastating, far more than decade-old carpet-bombing techniques.

  • Sounds like a B.... to clean!

  • thats stone age mechanical system called "breaching" with printer's electrical circuitry..well i'm amazed "knowing where's my tax money going..cause this gentlemen is a 50 million dollars technology !!"

  • "The friendly forces are safe". I hope the Yanks buy it then!

  • The military --- recieving funding for unnecessary technology (ffs its just weaponized printer tech -.-)

  • for what is this shit for ? who need´s this ?

  • @RocketRanger23 sniper rifles? more accurate rapid fire

  • Give the contract to Stark Industries!

  • wat if an e.m.p comes up since metal storm is electronic it would diable it long enough for the enemy to move up or get to the weapon.

  • @nick5957 emp bombs arent actually real dipshit, get your head out of cod 6

  • i think they should rename the metal storm pod to the metal storm bee-hive

  • @DepthOfMyBrain @junmiguel2007

    shut-up no one here wants to here what u have to say. no one cares that you think the other hates jew's. no one cares about what u think about bush. no one cares about what u think of liberals. no one cares what u think of terrorists. long story short, NO ONE CARES. grow up and stop being fucking retarded.

  • Your printer is going to kill you.

  • I keep wondering why anyone would want to shoot a million bullets in under one minute. Talk about some fucking overkill...

  • now,who will need to fire 1.000.000 rounds per minute when one of them can do the job?

  • @DARKlilution

    Well, duh.  Obviously, when one bulet will do the job, you use one. When you need high rates of fire (like when you're shooting down a missile), you use high rates of fire. You simply use the appropriate tool for the job at hand. You wouldn't use a jackhammer to tap in a finishing nail, and you wouldn't use a claw hammer to break pavement.

  • @junmiguel2007 You have problems.

  • @junmiguel2007 Dude, you have serious problems. Ur commenting 3 times in a row without knowing anything about me, how the fuck does it come to ur mind that im liberal, or someone who hates jews or so whatever. If u dont want people to see u as an complete failure as human beeing u should have dialogues with them and should not start talking bullshit thats in ur mind.

    The world is more than liberals and whatever u seem to be... think about other humans on earth... Ur just a frustrated guy...

  • jippie, better and faster way to kill even more people, sure defence my ass, wait the industry needs oil ? no probs we've got new weapons, huh ? u dont share our way of life ? KILL KILL KILL... Fuck you weapon inventors....

  • this is amazing but the computer might encounter failure on a attacking progress and failing the mission but u cant deny the precision it has is tremendous and the fire power it delivers is awesome

  • wholly unneccessary. If we were to employ these weapons on the battlefield, and our enemies captured the technology, then conventional body armor would be rendered absolutely useless. In fact, if facing an army using solely these weapons, then you might as well go in wearing a casual T and slacks.

  • @RomanianLatino

    That doesn't make it unnecessary any more than the obscolescence of cavalry made the machine gun unnecessary in 1914. What we do is, we accept when the rules have been changed, and we find new ways to play it. Otherwise, we die. You may not like it, but that's how it goes.

  • @SigmaSixxx yes but eventually you do realize that one day far in the future, we will develop weapons powerful to destroy an entire planet in one fell swoop. We cannot find new ways to play that, and we will die either way. You're right, i dont like it, but that shouldnt be how it goes, too bad it is. So, forget god's wrath, forget the sun or asteroids, if we're going extinct, it'll be by our own hand, and we'll probably take the earth out with us.

  • this looks old

  • build it into an M4.

    No gas operated systems, no charging handle, no spent cartridges, No jamming.

    course I don't like this whole stacked clip thing, soldiers like traditional magazines too much to even consider anything else.

    The electronic fire control is also a plus, gives a real MGS4 feel to things.

  • I agree with dansportdr123, i think the bullets at the end of the barrel would be inaccurate.... and one more question, wouldnt these weapons be rendered useless if an EMP were to go off?

  • @SADFACE1000 Chances of you actually getting a EMP?.... Very slim.

  • im just saying if the US were to arm its hole military system with these weapons and then go to war with a super power i think it wouldnt be a good idea

  • Honestly I doubt these weapons will ever go into production because their sheer destruction and actually hitting a enemy and not a innocent civilian or a caravan etc. Besides were not that gun crazy. If we we're other countries would get mad.

  • @SADFACE1000 Almost all the weapons currently

    used by the US military have some electronics

    in them anyway.

  • been palying too much mw2 ey

  • @SADFACE1000 If it were mounted on a

    vehicle, it wouldn't matter. Any EMP capable of

    taking out an electronic firing system, would

    also take out the vehicle. But you can shield

    against EMP.

  • Yeah + with like a million shots in a minute I think your pretty much certain to hit something. Balls to accuracy! Bring in the miniguns!

  • just given how rifling works the first few rounds out of the barrel would be wildly inaccurate because they would not get the chance to hold the rifling of the barrel and have no spin and be no more accurate than a smooth bore musket

  • I'm sure they designed it so that the first bullet in any barrel has enough rifling to be accurate. >_>

  • hoe exactly would that work?

  • The system would be designed so the first bullet would have enough rifling in front of it so that it would be accurate enough. Anyway, accuracy of any one bullet isn't really what they're going for here from what I can tell...

  • how do you know there is no rifling?...

  • @sbscott84 The bullets aren't at the very opening

    of the weapon.

  • wouldn't the bullets at the tip of the barrell be very inaccurate?

  • I WANT ONE!

  • waste of ammo, very impractical. .

  • how is this a waste of ammo?, plz explain

  • what about using it as an anti rocket or anti torpedo weapon as they mentioned? you cant always shoot a homing missile against something thats about to hit you. plus the rapid rate of fire is very practical when using high caliber cartridges.... you just need one small weapon. i mean how impractical is it if its simpler and more effective. cant always save ammo

  • filipino inventor invented that thing metal storm...but he sold it to other country coz phillipine goverment suck..phillipine govt has no support to developed his invention... corruption to the max.. pres arroyo goverment the most corrupt ever.. for real

  • @nool52 its australian invented and owned but backed with U.S money

  • the future is " terminated " !!!!

  • The most insidious weapon is the anti-matter wasp.

    Upon hitting a vehicles' windshield, the airbag fails to deploy.

  • I'd like to see the non-lethal rounds being used at a million rpm at a riot :P

  • Neutron bombs are still better.....

  • Do i hear robot attacks?

  • Yeahhh! Print that terrorist!

  • needs a better reloading system

  • @branzalito

    Umm. . .  it *is* a better reloading system.

  • @SigmaSixxx actualy its just a better firing system but after all bullets are fired you must reload by inserting the bullets back in the cartridge wich is kinda pain in the butt

  • @branzalito

    Not 'Cartridge', 'Magazine," and no, you don't. The barrels are prepackaged, stacked like that. It's quite simple. It's not unlike the HK G11's prepackaged caseless mags, except without any moving parts. It's actually several steps less of a pain in the butt than reloading an MG (open feed cover, sweep feed tray, place belt, drop feed cover, pull back charging handle. . . blah blah.) I don't think you're thinking clearly here.

  • @branzalito

    I've been thinking...

    it's the idea of metalstorm in a minigun.

    the top barrel would fire the bullets. the other five barrels would load bullet-gunpowder packets-kind of like mini rockets except not. Each barrel loads one fuel-bullet thing into a different section of the half-circle barrel (half circle so the bullets can fall in. But they're mostly pressed against except where the bullet loads). there would be a thing pressing against the firing barrel so the nothing escapes.

  • @nuclear12321 nice that would totally work!

  • the evil industry.

  • I like that , Aussies rulezz!!

  • I like how they call the target area the "page", in reference to the ink-jet printer that inspired it all.

  • "And for just plain fun" - freaky line coming form a weapons dealer XD

  • Man....why aren't they using this for July 4 or New Years ! it would be the next generation in FIREWORKS !

  • yea... mexican fireworks

  • metal storm is australianand i seriously doubt we'd use it on mexico

    indonesia maybe

  • why would we use anything on mexico, were not at war with them

  • never said you where its

    because greenboy said mexican fireworks and metalstorm is a weapon that can be modified to launch fireworks.

    though metalworks has so much promise that i seriously doubt they'd lower its standards to launch fireworks

  • sick sh1t, why does a civilian need such weapons? i mean the world would become one fucked up place if everyone had a minigun. Not to say the impact of this on the work of local authorities lol... "drop the minigun right now and put your hands behind your head"!

  • I got wary with the line "the pilot never fires the weapon, the computer handles it all". Computers are not infallible, leaving a system like that entirely in the hands of a computer is a mistake.

  • Computers may not be infallible, but neither are humans. The requirement for using such a computer system is not that it is infallible, but that the computer is less fallible then the human operator would be. In such computer systems this is the case.

  • @Wushuki Ergo the use of "then" rather than, "than"! But what if humans made a mistake programming said infallible computer? Wouldn't that mean more mistakes, since a computer cannot learn? Just a thought.

  • your not verry smart are ya.

    it's not the computer that fails its the builder.

    this means that a wel tested computer system is way more reliable than humans.

  • I remember this one...Once China tried to buy it before.

  • Don't the bullets just fall out if the weapon is tilted?

  • No they would be jammed in tight enough not to fall out under gravity.

  • Oh! Thx man

  • its held by strong magnets!

  • I'm sure there is some sort of safe guard taken to prevent that

  • It's bad enough cops have tasers!

  • Next Generation Ballistic Weaponry... Now things like the "Lawgiver" from the Judge Dredd movie is more reality. So are fully computerized weapon systems. "Terminator" anyone? If I see this, it reminds me of SOP-locked guns like in MGS4

    And no! I don't think this is out of the blue. Watch 0:48 ! "Electronical locking to control unauthorized use!" So it IS comparable to the SOP-system of MGS4. Think of disarming a bank robber just by deactivating his gun. Nice, huh?

  • That authorization system seemed more like, "You can't fire the gun unless you wear this ring"

  • Thats EXACTLY what I thought

  • ceaser would hire you guys

  • or for the New World Order..

  • nice new N.W.O weapon....

  • I prefer small atom bombs, jeje

  • i need that handgun so badly.

  • : ( youtube thats not nice lol

  • Um OK give me a dozen

  • -dear youtube experts :P

    somebody said in the comments that this was made by australians, is this true? if so, awesome :D

  • yes it was made by australians :)

  • The company started in Queensland, Australia and now has agents and consultants in the US and Singapore.

  • oh sweet, my state! :)

    haha, of coarse americans got it ^^

  • Yes this is the RIGHT WEAPON TO KILL THE TERRORIST ORGANISATION PKK (KURDS WHO WANT TURKEY AS THEY COUNTRY)
