Metal Storm postoji kao pesadijsko mitraljez (advanced sniper rifle) ili pistoj (VLe military handgun) i kao artiljerijsko naoruzanje

Posto to cudo moze biti malecko i lagano, ne vidim nikakav problem da se montira na avion nekoliko komada i da se njima racunarski upravlja.
Citat:
So what's the value of the very high rate of fire if you don't fire a million rounds?
There are many circumstances where a target can only be engaged or fired upon for very brief periods. For example, if a missile is launched at close range toward a tank, there will be very little time to respond in some way to try to destroy the missile and save the tank.
In such circumstances, if an electronic detection system finds the missile and then automatically operates a conventional rapid fire gun to try to intercept the missile, the weapon will generally not be able to fire enough bullets to ensure that the missile is destroyed.
It is in such circumstances that Metal Storm's ultra-rapid rate of fire can mean the difference between life or death for the tank crew.
Citat:
Are all the bullets fired at the same time, or can you fire just a few?
In a single barrel weapon we can fire the bullets one at a time. We can also fire some or all of them at slow rates of fire, or at very high rates of fire. We can vary the rate of fire simply by selecting and adjusting an electronic controller. In a multi-barrel weapon we can select any or all barrels to fire any number of rounds at any available selected rate.
Sad, ne znam koliki kalibar i koliko municije je potrebno/dovoljno da se pocepa blindirano vozilo ili tenk, ali ako je masa svega toga manja od rucnog raketnog bacaca, sta je bolje? Koliki je demaskirajuci efekat rakete a koliki kise metaka?

Koliko se vidi opseg kalibra je 5mm-90mm, efektivni domet oko 2.5km, brzina metka 5 maha. A-10 ima top od 30mm, recimo da je za metal storm dovoljno 10mm da pocepa tenk. Crna Strela ima 12,7 mm. Zamislite protivtenkovsko oruzje gabarita Crne Strele i oporedite ga sa M-79 "Osa".
