Re: Metal Storm
Coming from currently being in the military as all of this tech is coming out I'd have to say I have mixed feelings about it. Would I want this as a one and only weapon technology myself and my squad were carrying? Heck no, just in case something broke. But think about the applications of this technology in the hands of a single support gunner trained on how to use it, and fix it if it broke. Example: Computers aren't mechanical at all, yet I can fix one very quickly if I know whats going on. If an electronic gun jams, and a trained tech can look at it. there you go. And that same trained tech can also lay down a wall of suppressive fire as if he was a one man army. Also this technology could be well employed as an area denial type of defensive emplacement, once again with trained ops ready to repair at a moments notice. I didn't watch the video so I don't know if this was addressed in there already or not, but I have known of metal storm for a while now.
