The U.S. Army plans to test next month a SUPER GUN from a company appropriately called Metal Storm that can shoot 240,000 bullets per minute. The gun has no moving parts. Among its many tricks, the gun can actually shoot down enemy mortar fire.

Toys don't bother me too much, yet. This thing however, is death in the making.

Sweet zombie Jesus! that is more than messed up. It is a terminator.

got a link for where that's from? i'm curious about what it shoots.

I am pretty sure that it as an EM gun if it has no moving parts as it claims. The EM gun consists of two magnetic tubes and the projectile is placed in between them and then an electrical charge is sent, firing the projectile at some enormous speed. Since their are no moving parts it does not overheat, jam or need to be cleaned. So yes, it is a terminator.

So basically a railgun? it could overheat. each time that apply a current
it raises the temperature of the magnets. also there's friction between
the "bullet" and the barrel on the way out (unless it levitates) and at least
as it reloads.

Your logic makes sense. I did not know that, thank you.
