A very unusual 9mm rifle...

[AJMD429]

....that fires over 16,000 rounds per second....

This is kinda creepy: https://youtu.be/L2Kvdgc-AWk

Same concept in a more traditional-looking gun: https://youtu.be/scG7UNU_DSU

Of course they even made a FLINTLOCK gatling-style gun using a similar multiple-bullets-per-barrel gun back in the 1700's - https://youtu.be/rCuVMx5h1x0

militarily I think the metal storm concept is to replace land mines or air bursts with something more focused.

I personally think these have some merit in NON LETHAL rubber or OC pellets. Consider what a half dozen of these around a prison yard could do in a heart beat. Or for riot control on streets.

I remember seeing this on tv, I believe its design is to take the place of manned outposts. The system is motion activated...?
If memory serves the rounds are loaded 1 in front of the other and electrically fired.
