   It gets off topic 75% in where they get into the 'gps crop farming' which always striked me as odd.

   The unmanned drone with 4 pods is quite insane, one bullet for each person in a major city.

   a) Metal Storm is real. Jam a bunch of special cartridges in a barrel and fire them electrically. You can't sustain the rate of fire for very long, but you do get a very, very high rate as long as the ammo holds out.

   b) I still prefer Gatling guns.

   A new inkjet printer for oppresive and greedy governments to grind human beings more effeciently whatever the reason? This advertisment is so geeky equipped with nice medical metaphors, that you nearly forget what's it all about. These psychos forgot talk about sweet smell of rotten corpses.

   That's exactly what we need: better ways to kill each other. And we already have good reasons to do so: religion, skin color, oil, money, etc. It's just the means we don't have. Now 1,000 bullets/minute of self-righteousness is there to save the day.

   Well I hope they're proud of themselves.

   If this isn't a hoax that is.

    Better not let terrorists get these weapons, otherwise we need to build better weapons, like a million and one round per minute gun. I love how in the end they say it can be used for fireworks to justify how there's some good to it. Great selling point.

    Am I the only one to think that one could make "disposable" weapons with this technology? "Tuesday Morning Specials", anyone? Cue blisterpacked gun in Wired "Found" page.
    Just saying.

    Metal storm is a good idea.No moving parts inside the gun except the bullets.But how to reload it in a war zone needs more research.Also the portable version for soldiers if any is a design challenge as bullets are simply kept in straight tubes.But i am very very excited about this wonder baby that one day it makes our life really really safe.Simply install these guns, along with cctv, i mean smaller version(my idea, yeah)and lets see whether any one gonna mess up around...
