At 16K rounds per second you'd go through a lot of ammo. I wonder how much each one of those special rounds costs?
I wonder if the contractor has thought of selling it like they used to sell razors and razor blades. Give the system away for almost nothing and make it up on the cost of the rounds of ammo.
When i see that i feel like man kind really Made à big leap towards à better Life for every one!!
Impressimg technologie but imagine if this ingenuity was put towards feeding the hungry!
M'y 2 cents

I'm sure the weapon must be built to tolerate the condition, but what happens when one round doesn't fire? Does the one behind it clear it or does the weapon go boom? I'm sure there are provisions for the situation but I'd love to see what those provisions are.

Saw that a couple of years ago but haven't seen or heard anything about it since. So it makes one wonder where did the techonology go or what is being done with it?

I saw it at least 8-10 years ago. The public company that owned that technology was pushing hard to sell it to the government to use in the ME. I don't think it ever panned out. Timing is everything, as I would bet the Obama administration would have bought it...hook...line...and sinker! looks like they may still be trying to get a government contract.
