Maybe this'd be fun as a deployable only weapon (wich maybe could be made to slow you down upon pickup, dunno is that's possible...). Imagine what this would do to a random opponent: 
Or maybe a remote-controlled vehicle: 
And maybe even as a vehicle-mounted gun:

This would be more like a vehicle rather than a gun or a feature. 
But the idea is good none the less, looks devastating! |

Heh, the video featuring that top weapon was my inspiration for a deployable I stuck in the weapons board...1 million rounds per minute? HOLY SH*T! |

There is a real life minigun (of course not handheld) that fires thousands of bullets per second, even dozens or hundreds of thousands. Science never cease to amaze me! I bet you'd need quite a bit of armor to survive that thing for more than a second after it starts firing at you.

Lol, like 8 inches of dyneema with 2 inch silicum carbide hardplate? Body armour will be torn apart anyways. Eventually. And if not the internal bleedings or the you flying away because of massive amounts of metal hitting you will do the job...

wikipedia wrote: The stacked projectile and electronic ignition technology theoretically eliminated the need for cartridges, and for many moving parts associated with traditional guns. Multiple barrels containing stacked rounds could be grouped together in arrays allowing unprecedented (albeit very brief) rates of fire of up to 1,000,000 rounds per minute.

People would definately be afraid of you if you carried that kind of a gun in deathmatch.

It's an artillery system, similar to MRLS bombardment rockets in that it salvos off a lot of firepower in a very short timeframe to bombard an area. It isn't very accurate but then with that much ammo going downrange it doesn't need to be. They basically load the shells end to end in the tubes and electronically fire them all off in sequence. Reloading probably involves detaching and replacing the whole metalstorm unit, which is heavy. It releases a lot of energy at once - depending on the size of the shells being salvoed, the recoil may lift or flip the deployment vehicle. The problem with the system is that if it misfires, you've got 10,000 rounds sitting in the box right next to each other. |

the weapon is impressive, BUT. . .In practical use, the thing would either be a heavy machiengun, if it was set to a low ROF, or a shotgun, unless we want to make it capable of the extremely unrealistic ability to maintain that kind of rate of fire for more than a fraction of a second without melting the barrels. But hey, I'd rather have fun over realism, so whatever. |

make it an advanced claymore mine...drop the box on the floor with a laser light like the FP9's, and anything that passes gets 10,000 rounds up the backside

You wouldn't feel anything because you'd die instantly. It is a shame really, it'd be so fun to see a foe suffer that way.

That looks pretty neat, is that a multibarreled paintball minigun or something?

No, It's a claymore. And I didn't forget to put in tags. I just don't like cluttering a page with images. |

I probably would have edited the IMG tags back to a link form, but I don't really have authority to do that since you aren't breaking any rules when using IMGs. Damn rules!

Yeah. . .this idea is dead. Ingame, there's not much use for this kind oHonestly, We've got enough mines & remote/tripwire explosives for now. Ready to lock this thing, Bjossi? |
