OK, seen the video. Looks to me like it's a sort of "grenade launcher meets PIR" thing. I'm guessing that the "240,000" rounds/minute refers to the sub-munitions.
I guess that setting one up would save actually sowing a minefield, so it's simpler & more economical, but there'd still be the issue of faulty "fail to detonate" munitions. There's also the issue of countermeasures against the detector and for that I guess we won't be seeing the end of traditional landmines just yet.
Will the military buy in - sure. the real question is will the NRA folk get the ultimate weapon against garden squirrells?
Mike.
