@@user-ug6cx4ji9f I think the system was an interesting idea only not as practical as it made it out to be. It’s like a Guinness thing yeah it can shoot 1M RPM.

Would be, if it wasn't cancelled. One of pros of this system was interchangeable barrels, so in same mount, you could have few dosens of small caliber to serve as machine gun, or you could install 40mm grenade launcher. Antidrone weapons now utilise microwaves or/and lasers. Developed as anti-aircraft, but not effective enough against aircrafts, it's surprisingly effective against drones
you probly could but id think itd be more like an edited video making it do that also could you imagine how much ammo that would take to make it actually fire that many rounds to play that?
don't think the bullets used for this are big enough to stop an incoming missile, range is also limited as well. It's more for anti-personal if anything @@T1Oracle
There was a show in the early 2000s that featured this. I'm not surprised it failed. There really isn't any need for this weapon. It would have been a huge waste of ammo. Another weapon they featured was a drum fed shotgun that had various different high-tech shotgun shells. including a taser shell, exploding shells, and homing beacon shells. I'm not surprised that it didn't work out either. Then they showed off caseless ammo for the military. That didn't pan out, either.
I remember watching that show. I might even have it on a hard drive somewhere. The shotgun was beast! I don't know why they never developed it, even just with regular shotgun rounds for the drum. Although the mini missiles it fired were cool. HE, Frag and Incendiary grenades with little fins that pop out once fired. The camera shell was dumb though. Shoot a camera into the air that has a parachute and the image goes wireless to the team leader. Except the image spins and your brain can't capture anything useful except maybe a bit of dizziness.
"waste of ammo" - Cost per shot is one reason lasers are being looked at seriously, but are also taking time to reach usability equivalent to traditional 'kinetic' technology. - IIRC some have been fielded, then withdrawn.
Rails only needed to carry a few milliamps rather than a railgun which needs to carry a million plus amps. The rails only touch off the propellant, they dont actually contribute to giving the bullet kinetic energy.
Nope. A rail gun uses electricity to propel the projectile. It does it by either using magnetism to push/pull it and accelerate it to high speed, or the rails make direct contact with the projectile, creating plasma to push the projectile instead of the explosion from gunpowder. In this design, each projectile is backed by gunpowder, which is ignited electrically.
@@user-xz4is1gm5oI think he's saying it has the ability to shoot 1 million bullets per minute but it will never happen because it cannot store that much
its 1 million rounds a minute at max but its not surprising the way it works its electronically fired and had caseless ammo so nothing to have to cycle rounds in like a C-RAM does
I rember an old murder show with one of these where they made it out like the weapon vaporized the victim completely. Obviously sci-fi nonsense but was still cool to learn these existed
Command says we have clearance! Weapons free boys here we go! OK, you ready? On FIRE... Ready, Aim, Fi... Brrrr. No, on FIRE, reload and let's do it again... Ready, aim, Fi... Brrrr.

Not my fault sir, by the time you're done saying the word fire I'm ready to reload 🤷
I mean. If you want to waste that much ammo on one taget then I think enemies would be happy. 1mil rpm means nothing when you can't actually use it. Pretty good example of a configuration that focuses on one thing but lacks everything else redering it useless.
Not entirely. 1m rpm for half a second is 8k rounds. If the ammo costs $1 / round - then that's an incredible cost saving compared to a lot of other weapons.... assuming it can take down the target. The configuration - not being a chain but racks of bullets - will mean reloading times will likely be a fraction of the time. You can also see that the size of the weapon is quite small - meaning more can be installed.
It would be a good close-in anti missile platform on ships. Systems like Goalkeeper use a minigun to put a wall of lead in front of an incoming missile. This would be able to do that in a very compact package
I can see one usage for this: Instantaneous suppressive fire against an overwhelming enemy force. A single shot from this combined with tactical smoke would cause an extreme amount of chaos for an entrenched enemy when outnumbered. Having said that, my god what a burden she is
no, no, no you got that wrong. let me explain: that thing will be installed in your hallway. if homeinvaders break through the door, it will send them into a parallel dimension. the short burst also makes sure, that your neighbors wont be disturbed by too much gunshots.
@@BratislavMetulski my problem with that is the simple fact that you're trading your hearing and your house Like that's not even home defense anymore That's home offense
I don't know exactly what the number would be, but I feel like there's gotta be a certain rounds-per-minute where there's diminishing returns; like once you get so fast, going even faster doesn't add anything to the system (except for price)
Invented by an Australian who took his invention to the Australian Military who said they weren't interested. Typically short sighted. I recall reading about the inventer having to go to the US for funding.
The 1m RPM one is basically just a very fancy shotgun lol

Yeah, and I have never seen one out in the wilde.
lol, just like the F-22 lmao
My very thought I remember this tech was supposed to be revolutionary 25 + years ago. Me thinks it's probably too expensive to field.
This was invented by a guy in Australia years ago but he had no clout in the military world and it never took off. They even discussed using it for seeding crops and things.
Went bust years ago. The tech never took off because miss fires caused the entire tube to fail from what I can remember.
Surly it's been perfected. US military got it figured out.
Yeah that, and also the fact that it could only fire for less than a second… that’s not very useful compared to a typical mini gun.
One of so many tubes wouldn't be that bad.
@@JopicIt can fire much more longer, just with less rounds per minute, as each round is fired individually.
@@Astrofrank that just makes it functionally a mini gun with a lower ammo capacity.
That Australian company is defunct since 2012
It was in Redcliffe Qld wasn't it?
@@Paul-hp6zpit was Brisbane. Very close
Yeah the patent and company was bought out by the US defense force. Then they shelved the design and started reusing it for the rail gun project.

A small rail gun. Wonder how often the rails need to be changed relative to shots fired.
Rails only needed to carry a few milliamps rather than a railgun which needs to carry a million plus amps. The rails only touch off the propellant, they dont actually contribute to giving the bullet kinetic energy.

What school did you go to ? Must've been a special one with abacus. 😅
It's a a wall of lead to take out a target, like a missile.
@johnpoole7327 What school did you go to 😂
You missed the drones sent to Isreal from Iran, huh?😅😅
hypersonic missiles.
When you show up the indoor range, "no rapid fire", you do get to return.
So 64 barrels is faster than one ?amazing
It cannot fire a mill a min, it has a fire rate of a mill per min...
Seriously. It only has a capacity of 180 rounds. Add in reload time, and it can probably actually fire 90-360 rounds per minute.
My shotgun fires more pellets at a higher *rate*.
So it's actually very slow? 😅😅
Most valuable comment so far!
@@user-xz4is1gm5oI think he's saying it has the ability to shoot 1 million bullets per minute but it will never happen because it cannot store that much
I heard it can go up to 16,000 rounds per second! In comparison, the C-RAM has a fire rate of 75 rounds per second.

"Enough to replace every atom of target with lead"

@@deanlollis9177 Yes it does...
Fast as 1 million per minute, max load runs out in 200 milliseconds. Not a minute later. Rate vs total numbers of rounds.
