So far, they've got a couple of prototypes, like the Area Denial Weapon System, Sentry Gun (36 barrel) and even a 40 mm grenade launcher!

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...

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.
