Watch the video on the weapon's principle.How about a 1 million RoF WG?

They have a pretty impressive safe pistol too. Check out the videos. Kuru will like the pistol. Like she said before, it's not how many rounds you shoot, it's whether they all hit the target. 3 rounds at 50,000 rpm rate?
Worth a peek.

Ok, im not happy with the pistol. To hard to reload.The 36 barrel toy is just funny to watch. but again, to hard to reload in a hurry. That thing is more of a AP mine than a machine gun. be good for that. fire all 36 barrels, rotate 5deg, repeat till all dead
When your being shot at you want your reload cycle to be as quick as posible. Slap in a new mag/belt and slam the bolt home. ready to rock.
The area denial system on the otherhand. Now there is a great thing. could of used a couple of these back in 89. Ill take 2 of them. Add them to the list im sending Jimi.

Thought so too.But then again, the Police aren't meant to empty mag after mag into felons. Like I said, supposed to.
Watch the pistol vid? If I were a criminal and had a shotgun and some po-po's gun said 'STUN!' I'd laugh my ass off and then shoot his. The inability to use his gun if you disarm him is a decent feature though. And there's no lying about when or where you fired too, with the data stored on the pistol.

this is true. the pistol will be good for police.I was going through the rest of the site. They are going to save a lot of lives if they can do what they say they can with the fire fighting stuff.
Just leave the pods out in the middle of the runway and run them from the tower for an airport. Plane goes down in range just blanket it.
Mount them in helos like rocket pods to put out building fires. 2 of them come to mind right off the bat that these could of been used on...

Ahahaha, the 36 round one at 60,000 rpm sounds like someone ripping a nasty fart.This is pretty cool though.
