MetalStorm - 16,000 rounds a second - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

NoSoup · 07-02-2006, 10:10 PM

Wow, have you guys seen this new technology?

It can fire up to 16,000 rounds per second - that's over a quarter of a million rounds a minute. 9 mm, Grenades, or warheads - it doesn't make a lick of difference.

And - there aren't any moving parts, except the projectile itself.

Here's a video about it for those of you interested...

Although I kinda doubt it'll happen, I'd really want a civillian version of this...

Pretty cool technology. Thanks for the post.

Cooolll. At first I thought this was about a rail gun / Gauss rifle, but this is different. Thanks for the link.

I would have to imagine that this would be time consuming to reload, but aside from that, looks pretty awesome

The basic version of this was shown a few years ago on a History Channel/Discovery Channel Guns special. At the time it was more bleeding edge and limited to small caliber variations.

The "grenade storm" version looks to be the ideal home defense solution.

True, but not in the typical manner....

More in a "You're not going to take anything from my home because there ain't no home left" kind of way....
