Metal Storm went through a rough period once they listed on the Stock Exchange.
I don't think their wikipedia page explain's the history truthfully... as I was thinking back in the day that they were about to hit big time due to a good tip once they released info in regards to All the US Research Agency's as vested interest's.
I'm so glad I never fired my Pension into Metal Storm LOL
Metal Storm has fired last shot NO conspiracy here right ???
QuoteMETAL Storm had a gun that was going to revolutionise warfare, capable of shooting several thousand rounds a second, and all the Gold Coast-based company claimed it needed was investors to help bring this wonderful new technology to the attention of military authorities in Australia and the US.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, small investors piled in to Metal Storm, but despite the company's employment of former admirals and generals to push its products to Pentagon officials in Washington, it never came close to replicating the $3.50 it traded at when it listed on the ASX in 1999.
Metal Storm finally went into receivership yesterday, after announcing on Monday that a supposed white knight from Luxembourg had failed to tip $4.65 million of new equity into the company to cut debt and provide working capital for the weapons development program.
Investors who were unable to get out of the company yesterday found their shares were worth one-tenth of a cent.
Metal Storm's problem was that it never had strong institutional support.

AT least they got to keep their domain name LMAO
It is incredible technology.
However what is the difference between 20000 shells per second, or 1 big shell?
The 20000 shells are going to hit the same spot.
Perhaps the one big shell might do more damage. Just puttin it out there.
Speaking of Putin, maybe they were trying to sell it to the wrong people! 8)

Douglas AC-47D Spooky aka "Puff, the Magic Dragon"
It could orbit the target for hours providing suppressing fire. Coverage given by a Spooky was over an elliptical area approximately 52 yd (47.5 m) in diameter, placing a round every 2.4 yd (2.2 m) during a 3-second burst.
You beat me to it, Thor 8) but I was thinking of the newer version of Puff, the AC-135 gunship...
maximum on target firepower for total chaos and domination/destruction :P

I ponder any excitement for stronger, faster, better ways to kill People... Especially since it seems to be that all the politics We see are being played out on a literal world stage with actors, scripts, and live props. That psychopaths are writing the scripts and getting willing (enlisted) and unwilling (civilians) sacrifices, ready to cull Humanity down to levels They can CONTROL with a planned WWIII. Maybe it's just Me and planned, propagandized war is really just AWESOME. To Me it is sick, disgusting, and I do not consent to it.

To be fair though Ama, There really are people who are sick and kill in the Name of their Religion on this planet. So what do we do about people who organise themselves to destroy what good value's you have posted about and one's I agree with. We live on a rock that take's 365 day's to make a full rotation around the Sun, and we share that with people who are more than happy to take their own life, along with innocent people under the guise of religion.
Is it cool to develop weapons such as what metal storm did? I think yes from a purely technical point, and also a from a point of protection.
I guess the greater question is more based on whether People are Happy the US Mill took this OFF the Market or Not? Personally, I am very happy that occurred and is in good hands!

Where do I begin... First, I suggest that mostly, the "people who are sick and kill in the Name of their Religion on this planet" are an ILLUSION created in the script the psychopaths in control write and sell Us as "reality." Second, I advocate that We should each have the ability to arm Ourselves as We Each might choose, Individually, and presume every Other is armed. Third, I suggest that We All advocate the three Laws of Ethics. Killing anOther without Their fully informed consent (except in Self defense, which, though there is an element of will in the choosing the solution to the problem, at the root it is reactionary, and therefore Ethical) is unEthical. Fourth, the world, in a sense, IS run by Monty Python, or at least is scripted more and more towards the absurd - and the script, guaranteed, leads to WWIII as Albert Pike called for.
I also advocate withdrawing consent from controlmind, and consenting to better. When enough of Us have done so, We WILL create better. Controlminds promote psychopaths. A solutocracy promotes the CARING Ones to take care of things.
I could go on, but...
