Metal Storm Mortar
You don't think ...
You don't think you can remotely change where you are aiming this thing!?? You're retarded if you don't...you think they would leave out that feature if it was supposed to be unmanned?? Think before you respond dude
the question is ...
the question is will we be ready for a chinese attack?
Remember, targets ...
Remember, targets dont just stand in the open, the take covor inside of building and vehicles, so you need something thats gonna destroy to covor in order to take down the target.
It's great for ...
It's great for shooting down missiles or incoming artillery/mortar. And having these set up along your flanks to remotely detect anyone coming near them then you want to put 46 rounds into an area a target is in.
What if you're ...
What if you're shooting at a column of tanks? Or a reinforced bunker? Or a building?
What the fuck are ...
What the fuck are you guys talking about? This weapon system can be mounted on damn near ANY military vehicle. It's super accurate, especially with the reconnaissance system you see in the other video. This system is an army without a man. Given three highly motivated soldiers, a rainy day, and too many grenade cartridges, a single metal storm system has capabilities to spot and destroy multiple enemy battalion-sized elements on the battlefield with pinpoint precision.
Exactly. People ...
Exactly. People have it as their job to literally kill other people. And as great generals of the ancient world has said, whatever advantage you can get in war, you use. This is also why most attack strategies revolve around outnumbering the enemy 3 to 1. This is also why the germans blitzkrieg was so effective in WW2. Complete and utter overkill, rushing across borders. I'd say 1 million grenades per sec landing in an enemy base is pretty useful for subduing it.
Good point I ...
Good point I suppose, I wasn't thinking of the fact that you don't HAVE to fire them all at once.
Well no, this is ...
Well no, this is showing the potential fire rate. You can control the rate of fire.
The truth is not ...
The truth is not many armies would go for this, because it wouldn't be effective. If you miss with a regular mortar, you have a spotter, you readjust, and fire again. If you miss with this...well, you get the point.
lol it sounds like ...
lol it sounds like a drum snare thats at the starting of a 60's song buddy holly or some shit
If you look at ...
If you look at multiple videos you could see that its CAPABLE of this, and that most likely it would not be used in that fashion unless its deemed necessary.
lets say its ww3 ...
lets say its ww3 and some scouts found a russian camp and its around 10 thousand ppl in it 10 of these things will not just slaughter but also cause chaos in the ranks of the russian soldiers making a ambush much more effective and thats war for you
metal storm was not ...
metal storm was not made for combat but for destroying ICBMs
That's not what ...
That's not what he's saying. He's saying the logistics of the Metal Storm system are counter productive and pointlessly complex. It's just a volley gun, which is a concept more than 400 years old. It's totally pointless anyway because the push these days is for precision and air-burst munitions which conventional mortars, which are much lighter and simpler, can already provide.
The harsh reality ...
The harsh reality of war is to kill the maximum amount of people in the shortest period of time. Yeah, slaughter is the perfect word for it. We're kidding ourselves if we believe otherwise. It's not a game. It's about killing people. That's the real world. Not what the media want you to believe. Like war is some sort of humanitarian effort. That bullshit. It's about money and dying.
no offence guys, ...
no offence guys, but if you think about it, its pointless and just plain scary, why would you completely overkill a target with 46 rounds at 30,000 rpm?! thats not even right, thats slaughtering! a classic mortar, is perfect, yeah it takes time, but that helps remove error, and money. i disagree to the thoughts of metal storm, but i'm not some hippie either so don't pull a "get out you pacifist" on me.
Enemy mortars ...
Enemy mortars inbound. Oh shit.
Yeah but ...
Yeah but Metalstorm aren't US. They are Australian.
3little pigs ...
3little pigs WOLF; I will bolw your house you will see "flewwwwww' oh i can't blow it now try this hehehe.. 3 LITTLE PIG; what is that noise "MORTAR" shitttt KABOOM!
lol
lol
cause they cant? ...
cause they cant? smart ass
WHAT THE FUCK?
WHAT THE FUCK?
The only problem ...
The only problem with this thing is feeding it with enough ammo. Like the Minigun. It would be a great weapon but u just cane carry enough ammo for it. Thats why its not so widely used and only on vehicles that can carry enough.
the chinese made ...
the chinese made something similar to this like a hundred years ago...
