Cool, so if we pass a 10th ammendment firearm freedom bill we will have a fully auto metal storm manufactured in VA for our use "in VA". I'm not holding my breath though.... I think those shots where they are inside the big office building handling the prototype pistol were probably in Arlington VA, where MetalStorm's corporate HQ is...

I wouldn't throw all my other guns into the trash can.*Holding breath* and I would be hard-pressed to give up the classic "punch a blasting cap" method of propelling a bullet.
I guess you know the ones that make it to the door are at least worth giving a chance.tekshogun wrote:I wouldn't throw all my other guns into the trash can.*Holding breath* and I would be hard-pressed to give up the classic "punch a blasting cap" method of propelling a bullet.
The remote controlled version could be good for handling boys coming to ask my daughters out. Simply load bean bags into the grenade version and when they break the perimeter, watch him get knocked down, run, get knocked down, run....

About electronic ignition, does anyone else here remember ten years ago when Remington tried to market an electronically operated Model 700 rifle? There was a writeup on it in American Rifleman. It used 30-06 cartridges with electronic primers. Apparently the idea didn't take off. Here's an old article:

The key benefit of the Navy's Phalanx CIWS anti-ship missile system is that it fires slow enough that the radar tracking system can adjust the outpouring stream of fire to intercept the inbound missile threat.According to metalstorm, if a round in the stackfails to fire, the next round will push it out andthat barrelwill not suffer a catastrophic failure.
As a handgun? Not interested.
But as a block-style stationarybattery weapon, I like it.
I see potential for it being able to take out RPG's in flight, and even missile if built on a larger scale. Electronic gatlin guns are currently used for those tasks by the Navy.
