Metal Storm: Gun that fires a million rounds per minute

[ProtoJoe]

Imagine a gun that fires a million rounds a minute -- enough to shred a target in a blink of an eye, or throw up a defensive wall against an incoming missile. This is just one of the new HighTech weapons under development in the Metal Storm range. Revolutionary firing mechanism (electricity) with high rates of fire and some with no moving parts.

Yup. I've heard about this weapon.
The high rate of fire and the velocity of the ammo when it leaves the weapon can tear apart a human body upon impact. Just....damn. Makes me cringe when I think about it.

dammit i tell dem people no pictures of mih secirty devices infront mih dog kennel!!!

[Kaizen]

I saw something like this on future fighting machines... cept it had more like 100 barrels 10 rows of 10, all electronically actuated. Like a wall of bullets....

[Crixx_Creww]

hmmm
sad day

to think that they are still making devices this nasty.

I pray this fails miserably and we dont see millions of these things across the world.

[W1nTry]

Actually crixx they making ones far nastier. Just wanna share with you all some other prolly lil known facts. The russians can assasinate you by having a balistic missile track ur cell phone if ur on it (they assisinated some country's president that way a while back). The russians also have space capable encapsulated ballistic missiles (they can be launched from space and when they are closer to the target, release the ballistic missile for the kill, apparently unstoppable). The US have developed 'bunker busting' nuclear missiles (apparently they late on this one, russians had this a while back). Stuff like that.

...i think i gonna become a resident of russia

[Red Paradox]

Damn....

why can people make devices to enhance life and not take it away...those fascists bastards!!

[Crixx_Creww]

i know of the ballistic missles
and americas bunker busters.

They also have sonic bunker busters that release sound that can fry your mind yadda yadda.

Iam not worried bout those.
Those are for niche uses.


Gunns kill more people than bombs any day.

Gunns like this will end up with the crazy people all over the world.
THas not kool

QUA? WHAT? Now I figure you're going with the perspective of guns are used more frequently... cause last I checked we had the nuclear capabilities to wipe out the planet... and that'd take less than 5 mins.. no 'gun' can do that. The reason Guns kill more ppl is just cause of use. Do you even know how close the world came to ceasing to exist during the Cuban missile crisis? do you know that because of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) we're prolly still around? Man, as far as YOU KNOW, guns kill more ppl. But my take on it is when it happens and the world is engulfed in an atomic fire i'll just think, hmm.. guns... pftt.

[ProtoJoe]

Yea, well think about it this way.... After someone is shot and killed (eg one of your relatives(GOD FORBID)) wouldnt you feel suffering and pain and all that hallabalo? Where as a necular strike would wipe out the whole world, so everyone would be dead! ^___^

If that were to happen, my only regret would be that I didnt get a chance to play the ps3

Anyway.... Honestly, what I find a bit scarier was that even despite all of those weaponry they are still trying to create more and more, and whats even more saddening about it is that they are using their own country men as test subjects, IMO thats isnt right on any level. Ever heard about the Philadelphia Experiment. Now, I for one think that I'll be supported when I say, 'that is some scary shit!'

[Crixx_Creww]

I think i said exactly what i mean.
Guns kill more people than bombs do.
Every day.

Its a fact.
Iam not denying that the bombs that exist now can vapourise all life on the planet with little effort.

But you said it too, thanks to MAD we are still alive.... until some maddist with a gun shoots you and many others like you.

Nuclear weapons are banned cause of their power to destroy on a massive scale.
Yet they dont ban guns when people use them in a genocide that kills thousands and thousands of people.

*sigh*

If guns like these reach the hands of the people that conduct genocides and have civil wars and stuff.

I can guarantee you that thousands will die.

Most people live in fear of madmen with guns.
Not the ones with bombs.

And yeah.. when someone (like say for instance, my uncle) is killed by a gunman, you feel suffering and hate.

Thanks NYPD for that,mistaken identity murder of my uncle.
And the apology 15 years later...

[New Era Outlaw]

I'm sorry about your uncle, Crixx. And, it's true.
We develop so many weapons for war, and even worse yet, we try to find ways to make them even more destructive. We keep this up and there won't be much left of us to wipe a windshield.

[W1nTry]

Sorry to hear bout the uncle dere crixx. There's that quote "Guns don't kill ppl, ppl kill ppl" and in the words of the transvestite comedian Eddie Izard... "yeah, well i'm sure it HELPS" Well guns are the tools, like any other tool. A carpenter needs a saw, a sculpter needs carving tools, a electrician needs wire cutters. I think we need to focus on the fact that a gun can't pull its own trigger without a human being behind the control. Even with these new types of weapons, someone has to write its programming right? so sure guns are bad, but the ppl who make them and use them are worse.

[Kaizen]

Honestly i dont see the bad thing of guns without them we wouldnt have atleast  a litle control over certain things but without them none of this would happen but what does that change?
times are changing to fast at this point and honestly terrorists will get it and so will normal armies but at the end of the day what can we do?  just hope that its used to SUPRESS terroism etc ..

[Crixx_Creww]

that is a dangerous statement there Kaizen...

Supress terrorism... its very very very very scary... if bush decides that he fine trinidad is a cell for terrorist activities.... we get bombed.. but its ok though cause.....

hes surpressing terrorism...

[Kaizen]

i still find it humurous that a bunch of street fighter pongists want to debate politics pun intended
