(over the top???) Metal Storm... ballistics technology

lets keep it simple to imagine,
imagine a dozen or two dozen shotguns taped together
all the triggers pulled with a single button pressed
so, press button and they all fire in same direction
10, 20 whatever number of shotguns you place together
now, is this really something the military needs
maybe some wacko, yes
but imagine whatever

a machine gun,
1 million rounds per minute fired
or 16,000 each second
duh, i don't know about this
guess i'm gonna have to read the web site
i'll guess a 10 x 10 array of barrels
loaded with 10 rounds each
10 x 10 x 10 = 1,000
so in the time you fire a regular rifle at a bad guy
when your one slug hits him or her
this weapon delivers 1,000 slugs in about the same time
each 100 ten times about 4 inches between them
bet after the first ten hit that
that the person does not exist anymore in that area :o)
