You thought your gun kicked a bit

daft old bu**er

Metal storm.

Been following this style of weapon for a while now.
This is a small one, but they also do ones with 40mm rounds.
Rounds are stacked behind each other in tubes (barrels) and can be electronically fired via the rim of the round, so you can fire them all at once, or in patterns whatever you like.

This would be devastating.

you'll see a paintball version at a big game one day.

There is a paintball Minigun on YouTube...only firing air though.
MiniGuns, ever so slightly rock dont they?

Still, my philosphy, is not 3000 misses per minute...mine is 1 shot one kill.

I saw that on tomorrows world *years* ago. They were talking about mounting them on ships as anti-missile defence.

Now that's shooting a lane

Hopefully they'll be working to squeeze it into the Ego 8 etc. Radar guided computerised fire control; big in 2008. Shooting the incoming paintballs should be fun

Goalkeeper

"A highly effective automatic Close In Weapons System (CIWS) designed to shoot down missiles and aircraft which have evaded the outer layers of a ship's defences. Designed in Holland as an autonomous system, Goalkeeper has its own radars, fire control computers and a seven barrel 30mm Gatling gun firing 4200 rounds per minute - that's 70 rounds per second. The system is designed to automatically engage targets between 350 and 1500 metres away."

Wow!
