Metal Storm

[clonezero]

a new type of weapon has been invented by the Aussies!!! and it when needed can spew 1m rounds per minute!!! (well that's what my kuya said)

<a href='http://www.metalstorm.com/index.php' target='_blank'>here is the link</a>


san ba mas tamang ilagay ito dito or sa gen discussion area?

EDIT: Sa General Discussion.
EDITED EDIT: Tama nga kayo, Tech nga to.

WOW! more ways to kill people! May mga metal storm videos na din sa yutube:
<a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8hlj4EbdsE' target='_blank'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8hlj4EbdsE</a>

30,000 rounds per minute, ang tunog: zzzzt. Pero may daya, madami kasing barrel. Dapat yung gaminin nilang ammo yung katulad sa shotgun.


btw, gawin na kaya natin etong WEAPONS/Technologhy topic.

nalipat sa gen discussion .... pero oki ako dun peros a tingin ko di na kilangan ng ganun

Missle that reaches Mach3 and it uses solid rounds instead of High explosive rounds. Parang parry blade.
ACLR also uses High velocity missile(CR-WL79HNM).

hehe I saw that ... its really a big pain in the ass for heli pilots and they already had a hard time dodging stingers

[ex nihilo]

Guess everyone here already watched Futureweapons on Discovery Channel over the past two weeks.

Meh.

Check this out...

<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM982_Excalibur' target='_blank'>If anyone watched Futureweapons when it started, I guess you already know this one.</a>

<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Combat_Systems_Non-Line-of-Sight_Cannon' target='_blank'>This one too.</a>

<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWORDS' target='_blank'>And this one, too.</a>

That's all, though the handgun version of Metal Storm reminds me of that L-arm shotgun in LR...

Maybe it's just me...

I never saw that futureweapons, we dont have discovery channel. I saw that starstreak from 21st century warfare dvd, which i think was made by discovery.

Bwisit wala pang nag upload ng video nito sa youtube. This article is a few years old already.
Im not sure if this is the one that i saw on DVD.
Electric Armor

British 'force field' protects tanks by zapping grenades
By Michael Smith
LONDON DAILY TELEGRAPH

LONDON � An electric "force field" for armored vehicles that vaporizes anti-tank grenades and shells on impact has been developed by scientists at Britain's Ministry of Defense.

The "electric armor" has been developed in an attempt to make tanks and other armored vehicles lighter and less vulnerable to grenade launchers such as those used by Taliban and al Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan.
It could be fitted to the light tanks and armored personnel carriers (APCs) that will replace the heavy Challenger II tanks and Warrior APCs in one of the two British armored divisions.
The ubiquitous RPG-7, a rocket-propelled grenade, can be picked up for a mere $10 in many of the world's trouble spots and is capable of destroying a tank and killing its crew.
When the grenade hits the tank, its "shaped-charge" warhead fires a jet of hot copper into the target at about 1,000 mph. It is capable of penetrating more than a foot of conventional solid-steel armor.
The new electric armor is made up of a highly charged capacitor that is connected to two separate metal plates on the tank's exterior. The outer plate, which is bulletproof and made from an unspecified alloy, is grounded, and the insulated inner plate is live.
The electric armor runs off the tank's power supply. When the tank commander feels he is in a dangerous area, he simply switches on the current to the inner plate.
When the warhead fires its jet of molten copper, it penetrates both the outer plate and the insulation of the inner plate. This makes a connection, and thousands of amps of electricity vaporize most of the molten copper. The rest of the copper is dispersed harmlessly against the vehicle's hull.
Despite the high charge, the electrical load on the battery is no more than that caused by starting the engine on a cold morning.
In a recent demonstration of the electric armor for senior army officers, an APC protected by the new British system survived repeated attacks by rocket-propelled grenades that would typically have destroyed it several times over.
Many of the grenades were fired from point-blank range, but the only damage to the APC was cosmetic. The vehicle was driven away under its own power.
Professor John Brown of the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory, which developed the "pulsed power system," said it was attracting a lot of interest from both the British Defense Ministry and the Pentagon.
With the easy availability of RPG-7 rocket launchers, "it only takes one individual on, say, a rooftop in a village to cause major damage or destroy passing armored vehicles," he said.

As everyone can clearly see, I've been on a Cracked.com rush today. Here's a current list of 5 sci-fi weapons that are currently being built.

My favorite is the railgun. Just wow.
