    Default Metal Storm - best thing outta Australia since King Pr0nberry

    An Australian grocer from Brisbane, developed a gun that can shoot 1 million - that's 6 zeros - bullets a minute. Don't believe me?

    hmm, wonder if it can fire through canadian armor. we also just developped new technology. we have like thuis new bulletproof armor that is resistant to any bullet in the world. not sure if it's in use yet though

    i think this is gun is a bad thing personnally. we keep finding more and more ways of killing eachother but theres stuff out there that is killing us. new diseases are coming out everyday it seems (sars, monkey pocks, wesnile, etc.). or at least here it is. money should be spent on that stuff if you ask me....

    heh, I had heard about this from my dad like 6 months ago... I bet I could design a faster firing gun... one that's not electronic for the most part. and bulletproof armor doesn't include personal railguns. a 3 foot rail gun could fire a 3 inch metal pipe at a tank and the pipe would go straight through the tank.

    I want one!! For, like, home defense. You never know when you might have to shoot down a missle

    Edit: Damn, the videos of those things in action sucked. They don't shoot at anything (except for some yellow tarp). They should've wasted a car or something.

    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    This device has been around for quite a long time, I remember seeing it in action on the news a few years back. I cant really understand the need to fire off 1 million bullets in a minute. To kill a person one would suffice, to disable a tank all you need is a bloody fat missile, or something. Tsk.
