Via that kid Goldberg at NRO's The Corner:
A really, really cool new toy.
The Dread Weapon System. (Invented by the Dread Pirate Roberts?)
*Fires .308 caliber and .50 caliber metal projectiles accurately at up to 8,000 fps (feet-per-second)
*Features an infinitely variable/programmable cyclic rate-of-fire (as high as 120,000 rounds-per-minute) [that is so cooool]
*Electrically powered and virtually silent
*Capable of laying down a 360-degree field of fire
*Mountable on any military vehicles, includes humvees and helicopters
*Weighs only 28 pounds
*Magazine capacities of at least 50,000 rounds of .308 Cal., or 10,000 rounds of .50 Cal. ammo
This ain't no Treo, I'll tell ya that.
I need one of these for "home defense"...also good for clearing brush and tree trimming!

When does the "paint ball" version come out?

Posted by: JamesPh. at May 20, 2005 05:19 PM10K rounds in a magazine, and it can fire 120K rounds/minute?
That means it can shoot itself dry in 5 seconds!
[ Even the 50K magazine would last lest than 30 seconds. ]
