Metal Storm
    #10080795 - 03/31/09 02:36 PM (15 years, 1 day ago)

the new most powerful gun in the world.

can fire a mindblowing  16000 rounds per SECOND.



now this makes me ask the question, how will this be regulated? as it is technically NOT a firearm.  ?  i am assuming they will have to revise the definition of what is a firearm?  if it will even be available to civilians.

i remember reading about this technology in pop sci a LONG time ago, and now its been perfected.    :awesome:  this will most certainly completely revolutionize modern warfare in a profound way.  not only does this give our military an incredible upper hand as far as firepower is concerned, but it will revolutionize all forms of weaponry and defense, land, air, sea and eventually space have INCREDIBLE room for growth as far as this tech is concerned.  they will be able to make faster and lighter units such as tanks, choppers, jets, humvees, etc. as this tech has greatly reduced the weight load vs. effectiveness. i would not be surprised if the final products of this weapon reduce the weight of vehicles by at least 30%.  not to mention the unmanned potential.  the great thing about this tech is it is superb for offense AND defense, unlike most weapon systems, which are geared for one or the other. 

oh and lets not forget the single most important aspect of this weapon, the reliability.  with no moving parts, the chances of failure are greatly reduced.  as long as the circuitry is rock solid, there is little chance of failure.

this makes me happy in my pants.  :yesnod:

Pretty cool.

As a mounted and/or unmanned weapon it looks very promising. As an infantry weapon it has a few drawbacks too.

1. Flash
2. Batteries
3. Probably can't withstand submersion...

Would make a great CIWS though.

well infantry it wouldnt be as powerful as on mech, BUT for infantry coupled with various calibers it would be the ultimate gun in 3-10 round bursts as in the video, depending on the round, it could be configured to penetrate anything, but mounted to say a humvee or a M1A2 abrams, it would be devastating.

I wonder what the actual ballistic data is.

I agree though. Mounted it would rock hard. You ever seen the CIWS? If it's better than a CIWS then wow!

Those things scare me.

Check this out.


You can hear towards the end of the vid "Mortar attack in progress. Take cover immediately.".

I'd hate to be there when one of those malfunctions!

holy fuck.  ive heard of them, but never seen one in action.  thats badass.  although its sole purpose is projectile defense yes?

the metal storm can function like the CIWS and also has incredible offensive applications.

Yeah and it's faster...

I think most mini, or gatling type guns could shoot a max of 100 bullets per second... So it looks like a new contender has joined the ranks.

yeah i would say 16000 per second is a force to be reckoned with.  :lol:

that is an incredible feat, but i think that as they develop the technology more we will see more use with infantry and mech, just imagine an infantry unit armed with this tech in a .50.  a 3 round spear burst with  .50 explosive rounds could penetrate a fucking bunker wall lol.  and it most certainly could destroy a tank.  say goodbye to the days of needing a rocket or a 20mm rifle, anti tank and anti fortification just got lighter, easier and more concealable.

They just better make civilian models then or else we're all going to be enslaved by somebody somewhere.

It would be neat to put 3 .50 BMG's in the same hole 1 mile away. :awesome:

as much as i hope it is available to the public, i can already tell you that the burst rounds will not be available to us.  i wouldnt be surprised if the electronic firing mechanism is available to us, but it will be limited to probably what current guns are capable of, and in that case i will keep my old fashioned bolt actions and semi auto actions.  i have a feeling that in the future when it is finally available to us that there is some sort of built in over ride feature that would disengage the gun at the hands of the government.  and if not, all it would take is an EMP and your gun is useless.

I totally forgot about EMP's...

They might build protection around that. I wonder if they've thought of it.

I think Russians put tubes or something like that in their missiles, instead of circuits.

I forgot the exact technology, but EMP's don't hurt their components (at least military).
