Metal Storm is a new tech the military is using, it loads the rounds behind eachother instead of a clip and uses a computer chip to ignite making it much MUCH fast, I believe they (Discovery Channel) said it can fire 100,000,000 rounds every few seconds...why not use that one our ships?

I did wonder about this, i knew of the technology but i cant think where it would be usefull...Our ground troops have morethan enough firepower and while it being a good technology with 100million rounds a minute being fired i just think it would be an excuse for overkill.sigpic

I remember seeing something on TV about this once, where they actually demonstrated it on a smaller scale. I think they had about a dozen or so tubes, each one filled with a row of bullets. Every bullet in every tube was fired at once doing much more damage that a single burst of fire.
Although 1,000,000 rounds is impressive, I don't think it's ever been proved that it can fire that any rounds. It also seems like a waste of rounds when damage can be done with less rounds from a heavy machine gun. It's also nothing something SG units can carry around so I think perhaps doing double, triple or even quadruple barrel rail guns which fire similtaniously could be a better solution when doing more damage at the same rate of fire.

It would be good if they can lowe the ammo usage.
From 100m to lets say 500/sec
So they could use it as automatic defense that uses transmitter to see whos friendly.
Or offensive on malps...
Like sending malp throught a gate that is guarded.
It comes throught and starts shooting right after its out of the gate.

but the malp idea is a good one! i could see that working, if they spread the feild of fire 360 degrees around the malp by placing a tube every degree with say 10 bullets in each. thats more than enough to take out a gate gaurd.sigpic

What a coincidence. I used to know the guy who invented the Metal Storm System. He was in the year above me in High School. He told me the only problem with the million-a-minute system is that he couldn't design an ammo clip big enough to hold a million rounds LMAO.Sometimes the truth........
