Military robots Metal storm
What is Metal storm technology
Metal storm technology is an electronically initiated, stacked projectile system that removes the mechanical elements required to fire conventional weapons. Effectively, the only moving parts in this weaponry technology are the projectiles themselves. Multiple projectiles are stacked in each barrel. The technology allows each projectile to be fired sequentially from each barrel. Therefore, the rate of fire is capable of allowing each projectile to be less than a centimeter apart during a full automatic assault. Due to the light weight of Metal Storm barrels, most non-infantry configurations use multiple barrels, usually between 4 and 64. This provides increased
In the battle field
Unlike conventional guns, this system can never jam. During an open assault, gun jams can be life threatening; leaving you exposed and helpless in the face of the enemy. Firing 3 rounds in a split second before the gun recoils means the bullets can be delivered with deadly accuracy. By removing the mechanical firing mechanism from the weapon, Metal storm has not only been made reliable – but also the most powerful automatic gun in the world. Metal storm can fire a hail of bullets in 2 modes. It can unleash a stream of bullets effectively making an air born supersonic metal spear that is able to pierce through armor. Its second mode, is an unstoppable wall of bullets fired out of multiple barrels. Using 9 mm rounds, Metal storm can fire up to a million rounds per minute, able to intercept an inbound supersonic missile in a split second. But Metal storm is capable of so much more. Replace these bullets with 9 mm grenades, a wall of these high explosives will flatten buildings and crush hard concrete bunkers from maximum impact. Metal storm can now deliver these warheads with deadly accuracy. It can obliterate a whole battalion of tanks and armored vehicles within the blink of an eye. Metal storm defense systems are as sinister as it is deadly. Metal storm doesn’t even need to be manned; it can be left completely unattended, a silent assassin waiting for its prey. Its sensors can detect anything that approaches.
