Aug 16 2007Metalstorm 1,000,000 Rounds Per Minute
Metalstorm, a company run by kids that grew up loving guns and never stopped, has a gun that can fire over 1,000,000 rounds per minute. The weapon uses stacked bullets in multiple chambers, fired by electronic triggers to achieve its ridiculous rate of fire. 1,000,000 shots a minute? I don't think there is anything I can do that many times in a minute, except maybe suck at life and have an ugly face. Besides those things I've got nothing. While the gun is pretty radical, it needs to make cooler sounds, and I think I could do just as much damage to those boards with a cannonball. Or maybe a trebuchet.

Why buy a gun that sounds a warning and then farts??

If you are going to anounce with a siren, what good is 1,000,000 RPM?

Jesus christ this is old.. as old as Jesus Christ himself... there hasn't been much new stuff on here in a while to be honest it's starting to suck balls. hell maybe it's time for me to go put holes in my hands too... just not my feet, i wanna walk away from it.
oh, and "first" posters are wankers who have no life...

The siren's there to make people turn around look.
A concept similar to when Hobbes lobs the snowball way over Calvin's head.
What good is 1,000,000 RPM if you can't shoot someone in the face with them?

Why on earth would human kind want to invent such a cruel weapon like that. Nukes do a much better job. more efficient too.

That was much less impressive that I expected. At least show the target getting hit.
The siren is for field testing, idiots, not for actual combat.

huh? They did show the target getting hit. What did you think those boards were for? And yes this is really old, when I saw the story I thought Metalstorm had made a new faster gun.

This is good for me because that is exactly how many people piss me off per minute. Where can I order mine?

"Mr. President, we are in a crisis!"...
"What is wrong Mr. Advisor sir?"...
"The Armed Forces have ran out of bullets!, we can no longer kill innocent people!"...
"Ohh Noooz, blasphemy, how did we run out of bullets? I thought we made enough of these to kill the world 5 times over!"...
"I'm sorry to say sir, but we wasted them shooting a million rounds per minute with this stupid ass invention."
this is OLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, I agree with #6 tho
Go on youtube and look this weapon up, there are more videos with different versions of this weapon and actually show you impact on targets at REAL slowmo.

Also, the government defense contractors have been contracting this to actually be used as an anti-air method and as defense against missiles/bombs/nukes.

Is Metalstorm anything like Metalocalypse?
13. Cheap television - August 16, 2007 2:54 PM
Like someone has already said this video is sonkeys years old!!

Instead of using a siren I would stick the gun up Michael Vicks ass and pull the trigger and instead of 180 bullets I would load up a million.
I'm just sayin' man.

they showed this company's other stuff on a show on discovery channel called superweapons/futureweapons. pretty freaking nuts.
16. Trowzersgal - August 16, 2007 11:59 PM
Yep, this is way old. And the clips on their website for firing larger calibers with the same system are much more impressive.
I don't care what noise it makes - I don't want to be at the other end of that!
(Read John Birmingham's fictional novels "World War 2.1" series for how Metalstorm could be used for defensive purposes - he lives in the same city that the Metalstorm guys are based, so I'm guessing he did some pretty interesting research :-)

okay, im pissed as a chook and still don't believe this crap. If this is for real, then this weapon would have to fire approx 460 bullets per second from each chamber which is rediculous! An oozie can only fire about 100 per 3 seconds so u do the math!
18. meppers - August 18, 2007 3:16 PM
my god this is literally 3 years old.
no seriously, I saw this on a tv show 3 years ago.
19. Ed Said - August 19, 2007 5:58 AM
How much do bullets cost? I really do wanna know, cuz if it fires off a million a minute it must be connected to a bullet factory that you have to buy to go with the gun.

Trust the Aussies to make a weapon like this.... probably need it to kill off all the kangaroos infesting their country.
