Electronic Primered Weapons 1 Million Rounds Per Minute

[Hae-Yu]

What will they think of next?

Using computer-controlled, electronic ignitions instead of mechanical percussion primers allows this new weapons system to load projectiles end-to-end, eliminate shell casings and dramatically accelerates the fire rate up to 1 million rounds per minute.

I would just drop an EMP pulse on that sum bitch and take my screw driver to it.

Pwned.

I'd just fucking put on a US Army disguise, put my sapper to it and blow it up! TF2 FTW!

I saw this on Future Weapons last year, pretty kick ass if you ask me.

They've had them all over youtube... they have a design for a handheld handgun with the same design.. Its oddly lethal.

Watching things like make me a bit worried because you know whatever it is that they are showing you now is "old technology" - ie... this is the stuff that they are letting the public see. What's the stuff that they wont let you see yet?

Tuck wins the prize!!!!!!!

Tuck, I'd guess the 1M rounds/ minute isn't necessarily anti-personnel. During WW2 the Germans used a 1K/minute design and thought it was too impractical because it wasted ammo.

I think a 1M rate would be used to create an anti-missile shield for a boat or bomber or something. Or you could deploy a few of these in a perimeter as automated sentry guns as shielding devices for RPGs and the like since they have such wide range of motion.
