imange what that is like hitting say a car or person

I saw that on either the history or discovery channel once. I think it's cool how electromagnetism is used to fire it.

although... other than a perimeter defense I can't think of any practical use for something that over the top. especially since it fires so fast. but, they can probably control it's rate of fire with the computer it's hooked up to.

[horrible]

jeez...

I WANT ONE!! *evil smile*

sometimes being an aussie i sit back and wonder.....damn we make some cool shit.

And i dunno im sure in the current design of it it only looks ot be for perimeter defence, though the application could be used to replace most turreted projectile designs.

Theres also a grenade launcher application if you read the comments there was a link posted to cnn

CNN en en NN (http://www.cnn.com/2003/BUSINESS/06/26/australia.metalstorm/)

So its already been adapted for various aspects of defence so really its only a matter fo time before someone takes it a step further and annexs a small nation using it.

hell yeah, one day im gonna declare independence and im gonna need fortifications. That could be one if it plays it's cards right...
thats the problem with the UN, you can't file for membership before you declare independence, who knows how long that paperwork takes to go through the system...

that reminds me somehow of that new rifle theyre developing, i think it's called the M8, anyone heard of it? its another future ownage device.

holy fucking shit

lol....

*buys one and conquors armenia... >.>

I wonder how expensive the weapon is because of it's rate of fire. A weapon that over the top can't be cheap to operate.

[shattered_system]

sweet i get one of those than maybe those freakin squirrels will stay off my lawn.

[Qween B]

ok so whos buying me one? =P hehe thats cool stuff

annex luxembourg, i hear europe want to use it as continental parking lot :P

and my guess would be bloody expensive as it has backing equipment and shizznit thats needed, though with the company being involved with the pentagon somehwat that could end up lowering the price if theyre mass produced :P

Its not the M8, its the XM8 and yes its gonna change the face of guns and welfare all together

[Dark Luther]

It would defenitely come in handy in anti missile defence....

lol, welfare. do you mean warfare?
cuz, i mean, if that gun changed the face of welfare we would be killing all of the recipients. A plan i back 237%

[Chaos Theory]

lol my bad I didnt even notice that

I am absent minded like that sometimes

[Night]

lol, no biggie
