What does Metal Storm Mean? 1 MILLION Rounds per minute!

iRobot's new partner in making terminator Warrior robots, Metal Storm, has reached the Navy test range and has technology that allows the firing of (gulp!) 1 million rounds per minute. Not that you'd actually have 1 million rounds on you. But in the YouTube video below, you can see what 180 rounds striking a target nearly simultaneously does. It's devastating. (Tip: If you play till the end, a whole bunch of additional devastating videos are available.)

More videos at Metal Storm's web site.
Note, the photo at the top features a Metal Storm kit system mounted on what appears to be Foster-Miller's Talon robot.
