#4 SM, nothing is worse than "Manos: Hands of Fate" although the Scifi channel keeps trying.

#5 Nobody does the PR release like Metal Storm. I think they put out about one a week. Of course none of them talk about the fact that the military has never, ever considered buying their technology in any kind of quantity. Their system requires custom (new) ammunition and that logistics train does not turn too quickly. Maybe they'll get there in 20 years or so.

#6 Remote- All MetalStorm has to do is set up a plant in Murtha's district and hire a nephew to (pretend to) run it.

#7 Murtha would have to buy off every safety official at Picatinny, Benning and Rock Island to even start getting these clowns noticed.

#9 They should put Metal Storm on UAVs. It's light and I believe the barrel is disposable. So the UAV could just jetison it after use.

#10 I wouldn't be so quick jettisoning a reusable weapon. it does say it can be clipped under a battle rifle's barrel and is 12 gage to boot, that's about the most common shotgun ammo around.
