Redback Metal Storm Robot.

[angryadrien]

the next generation of beer-serving robots

[vernerhill]

This is a totally useless weapon. Why do I need this when a standard belt fed launcher can do the same amount of damage and also carry alot more rounds. The 3gl looked very impressive however and the ADWS looked devastating.

[wease1]

Nucking futs!!!

[graffiticrime]

What is the point of this weapon, what type of ammo is it firing is it a explosive charge or what?

[NuclearArbitor]

the point is that it's fired electronically, there are no physical interaction unlike a conventional gun. the down side is that this thing is a bitch to reload but you can make boxes full of the tubes for this this and it'd make a very good shot gun or disposable weapon.

[ForgottenFriend88]

Australia will be getting a gun that will use this technology....I think in 2012?

[estone415]

Are you dumb? Australia is the inventor of Metal Storm weapons.

[goldenwolf12212]

crazy aussie made as well

[oldeafcoot]

MetalStorm stock hasn't been going up very quickly. When you show something new and innovative to most people, you may as well be showing it to a monkey. They don't understand new things. All you get is stupid comments like you see posted here. This is the future in weapons technology. Reportedly, fomer U.S. Defence Secretary Rumsfeld cancelled tow major Army weapons programs because he believed that MetalStorm would make them obsolete in five years.

[websuspect]

People arent stupid. They know the US government wants to use this technology against the American people. We dont need it so why invest in it.

[darthspeaks]

@websuspect I agree with you. People will not give up their freedom without much bloodshed. The government is gearing up for an uprising like the world has never seen. I am ready with my equipment when they unconstitutionally come to my personal property with their unlawful search and seizures orders from a foreign government.

Better to be dead than the subject of a foreign power. Think back to our ancestors in the 1700s and what they thought of royalty.

[kickboxer88888]

The stock symbol for metal storm is MTSX.... I think I'm gonna buy $3600 worth before it goes WAY UP!

[peacemaker181]

lmao you do know how fast and easy governments drop programs right?

[jergi313]

Their customers not only include government contracts but a LOT of private sector companies as well. Go to their website and look at their partners.

Not a company that is likely to have shares go down.

[bigshow112]

personally the ed 209's scare the shit out a me..........

[Shawkins49]

You should check out the MS grenade launches.

[HarbsFTW]

yep. An average joe from Adelaide, South Australia. He owns a discount store chain or something?!

[carlcarlson910]

australian invention not american

[cdnerds]

who cares. its a good gun...

[SoPlEoReD]

no it aint... fckin waste of ammo... takes AGES to reload... n who the hell would carry around a pistol that weights 10 kilos and has 20 bun barrels?

[jaekh]

MS pistols weigh significantly less than 10kg and have 4 barrels. The MS weapons with lots of barrels are intended to win a fight before the enemy fire a single round.

[Miniorroinim]

wtf its not a pistol its an automated turret made by EOS australia

[Robstailey]

@carlcarlson910 its a gun on a stand ooooh im real impressed.

[DaveTheSamurai]

This is just the begainning soon will have a bunch of T-101's roaming the streets crap.

[tkpenalty]

frick... that is so accurate...

[websuspect]

A robot can hit a target at 200 yards but it cant walk up steps and ring a doorbell.

[ttommyfunkenstien]

You may want to check out the P3 from Honda.

[tdlenser]

An irobot warrior can. Today.

[sandinsx]

a robot that plays mp3s? haha just kidding

[DaShadynubz]

@websuspect Yes it can

[vinze2121]

If they could figure out a way to reload that thing really quickly, it would be one terrifying machine. Still, I don't see how its much of an improvement over the GAU-8/A Avenger or M61 Vulcan (except that this thing can fire grenades)

[phygos2003]

there a a lot people with more than IQ 140 on this planet. An even if not ... if money doesen´t play a role .. you can buy the complete company including the patents

[phygos2003]

if one company can build this .. a kot states arround the planet can & will rebuild or copy this. in 10 to 20 years it will be spreaded arround the planet ... pure horror

[websuspect]

A person with a 140 + IQ could build something like this in their basement and have it rolled out in a month.

[kittenclaws]

Terrorist Cells will stick with what's cheap. Why buy an expensive, new gun, even if it's better, when the AK-47 is easy to teach children to use and is readily available for virtually nothing. Not to mention the abundance of ammo. They jam rarely and need maintenance about as often. Always expect insurgents and local fighters to pick what's cheap and easily reloaded over what's more precise and effective.

Besides, no gun looks as good as an AK-47 peeking out from behind a burnt out car.

[websuspect]

You know it! Get 2!

[tiBbLeX]

No they're not all that great. cheap, easy to use and reliable but heavy, inaccurate and clumbsy compared to M16 and other 1st world weapons.

not that great after all

[kittenclaws]

Of course, when fighting those who would kill your entire village, an AK /is/ still better than UN Sanctions.

[v1k1ng421]

HA HA! those look like paintball gun barrels. maybe that's what the robots want us to think :0(

[SAMJE123456]

Great killing machine.Why save the planet then when your making this!!!!!???

[diogeneslaertius666]

i think you can see that the application of solid state electronically fired projectiles is limitless.

you could easily create a series of remotely operated platforms on which are mounted pod,rail,barrel metal storm configs.

truly this small revolution in the firing mechanism once it is perfected will drasticaly change the nature of conflict around the world.

[cgman2]

I read about US's robot soilder tech their working on A.I robots they look like Short Circuit Johny 5 but shorter and no head just weapons system and they all get droped off and they get on with it with just a few generals in command. Phase 3 this so a while yet phase 1 is already in the field.

[websuspect]

Yes they are planing to kill us all. Keep paying your taxs.

[websuspect]

Yes They are using robots in Afghanistan to check out caves for Osama. LOL.

[aut111]

this is so cool, but the question is- 'is it used?'

[KoutetsuTenshin]

chrome hounds come to life

[xarmoda]

still wont make your tiny penis look any bigger

[KWFBong]

I got one and my penis got twice times bigger than before, I can tell you: "Buy a Redback Metal Storm Robot and the women will go WOW"
