Whether or not MetalStorm is a good concept (and I have doubts)
they've had remarkable success at getting press. I've been seeing
them in the general media for about 2 years, with nothing more than a
few prototypes and a contract for a design study. They all talk about
how it can fire a million rounds a second. They don't follow up with
"for 1/100,00th of a second."

Yeah, then heaven forbid the bad guys know we have that, then fire a 2nd,
3rd or 4th round at us. Until the system is reloaded, everyone is standing
around with their pants down around their ankles.

I'll make a bold prediction and say that it never leaves the prototype
stage, except for a few odd applications.
