"Metal Storm technology is an electronically initiated, stacked
projectile system that removes the mechanisms required to fire a
conventional weapon....electronically programmable rates of fire...no
moving parts...100% electronic operation...numerous hybrid
configurations and Special Forces applications...fires 10mm standard

I saw a presentation video for this gun - pretty impressive - shame we
dont have any acid-for-blood, drooling, cacooning xenomorphs to shoot -
only humans!

there are hundreds of different applications for this one from handguns to
artillery, fighter gun pods, anti asteroid sats.....
anyway one of the newest tested is the dragonfly remote killing machine
based on the standard..... 40mm :)
"Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - 6 October 2006: Metal Storm Limited (ASX trading
code:
MST and NASDAQ ticker symbol: MTSX).

Metal Storm is pleased to announce that it has conducted a live firing of
its 40mm weapon system installed on a Dragonfly Pictures, Inc (DPI) DP-5X
prototype Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV).

A number of flights and ground demonstrations were performed September
27-28, 2006, at the Warren Grove Air National Guard Bombing Range in Warren
Grove, NJ under a Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA)
contracted activity.

The flight demonstrations included firing from the hover position at various
altitudes as well as forward flight "strafing" runs. The live fires
utilized Metal Storm's GE40 40 mm grenade launcher, FC440 remotely operated
fire control unit, and MK16-KE 40 mm kinetic energy projectiles. Initial
tests were conducted from the DP-5X UAV in strap down mode as well as
un-tethered hover sighting shots. Hover shots from various altitudes were
followed by a concluding forward speed flight with shots that targeted a
vehicle sited on the firing range.
