i'm glad it shoots fast, now what the hell is it going to shoot, i mean 240,000 bpm is nice, but it doesn't mean crap, you can't tell me that gun will even hold 2,400, unless there bb sized rounds, which would make it crap to begin, oh & i dugg this. ''why the hell do i bother''
The funny thing is, at some point a ultra-high ROF gun is basically just a fancy shotgun. Your aiming point isn't going to change much in 1/4000th of a second, so you are simply relying on shot dispersal to get area coverage. I would think you could achieve the same effect by firing one big-ass hypervelocity shell, that breaks into sub-munitions, and repeating those every couple of seconds.Of course that's nowhere near as sexy as "TWO MILLION ROUNDS PER SECOND, Mr. Congressman!"
Stop linking to stupid blogs instead of the main story. LAME.Gee, which is better: linking to someone's 4-sentence weblog entry about something (one of which is "I want one"), or taking the massive amount of time necessary to follow the next link to the main multi-PARAGRAPH article and using THAT in your submission to Digg? Hmm
Yes that's right. Electric induction is old news. Posting links to "apparently news" blog posts is lame. I can't believe this was/is on the front page. Talk about lame.
OK hold the F*** on ppl i mean honestly if there ever was a war in order for a weapon like that to be use it will be useless against a few nations and i mean the Arab nations and the Muslims BTW be for u call me any names i my self am an IRANIAN from IRAN. and well even if these ppl hates their governments they love their country, and belive me when i say they will fight till the last breath with sticks and stones if they have to, to them in time of war only a few little things exist.GOD COUNTRYFAMILYmy guess is only a nuclear weapon would have enough effect to stop them....For a whilejust see what they have done over a few cartoon drawings and u tell me that little thing with how ever many bullets will stop 1.3 Billion of them ( the number is growing )Good Luck.
