New Super-Gun To Be Tested In Feb
By Pamela Hess, UPI Pentagon CorrespondentWashington (UPI) Jan 20, 2006
Next month a new high-explosive amunition will be fired in Singapore and then tested again by the U.S. Army, heralding what may be a sea change in weaponry: a gun that can fire 240,000 rounds per minute.
That's compared to 60 rounds per minute in a standard military machine gun.
Metal Storm, a munitions company headquartered in Virginia but with its roots in Australia, has been developing a gun that can shoot at blistering speeds, albeit in short bursts as each barrel is reloaded.
