The inventors may conclude their fecundation as progressive. Sadly , the end product adds another dimension to the fecund-hell on earth.
Anyone seen the movie " A Fish Called Wanda " ?

Now Hamlet ,are you just making this up or is the US totallty stupid?
There is no way the US would invest billions on a worthless concept.
Their scientists are a tad smarter than George Dubwua.
I think you should do your homework or produce some scientific proof to the contrary.

Arjay.. I believe this is a true story :)

NASA had a problem with ball point pens not writing in space...
so they invested a considerable sum in developing a pen which 'would'

The Russians just got a pencil :)

There’s more heat than light in the debate about Metal Storm.

A couple of points.

Metal Storm weapons in certain configurations are capable of firing at a RATE of one million rounds a minute. But in reality it would fire at this rate for maybe a second, tops (this is about 17,000 rounds – a very respectable number). I don’t know what Metal Storm rounds cost, or what they weigh, but a million rounds would probably be pushing a million dollars cost and you’d need a truck to carry them for loading.

Second, it is indeed a weapon and weapons can kill people. Not nice, but no-one ever said it was. In some formats, though, Metal Storm would actually kill other weapons – eg, as a defence system for a warship or a tank. Its high rate of fire makes it ideal for such applications.

Third – and no-one seems to have picked this up – the technology has important gun control potential in the civilian sector. A conventional handgun, if stolen, can be used by anyone. Because they fire electronically, Metal Storm handguns can be electronically locked (eg to a PIN, a voiceprint or thumbprint). It takes a top hacker to break this sort of security lock. Moreover, in some configurations a Metal Storm gun can even be physically tracked via satellite. If all civilian guns were Metal Storm guns (or used this technology) crims would have a much harder time of it.

It is quite a disturbing fact that a weapon can pump out so many rounds. Wasn't the aim of war to minimise civilian casulaties? There is absolute no need for a machine this destructive to be in production. The aim of terrorist is to create fear but who would be buying these weapons of mass destruction. Haven't Mindstorm done tests in front of the US Defence force?
