Very glad that the scientist is a true patriot.

Ping!
I want one.
Hold trigger a touch too long... buy stock in ammo makers!
I call bull. China offered him $100 million and he's the only source? Maybe, just maybe, he's trying to create marketing hype by pretending his product is more in demand than it actually is? What's China going to do, deny the story?
The author of this article better watch out or Kuehn12 will call him a racist for suggesting the Chinese might steal an idea.
Metal storm is really amazing technology and the recent show on future weapons (Military Channel) had a good demonstration of it.
a lesson for us now, and in the near and mid-term future
$100 million? Y'know something, I'm not proud to admit it, but I'd find that hard to resist.
Good for this guy. I'm impressed.
Anglican civilization must be preserved at all costs...
Isn't this weapon some kind of hoax or scam?
Fast-firing multibarreled guns aren't new, the Gatling gun dates back to the 1860's, and current electric guns can fire thousands of rounds/min. The article states the Uzi fires 3,000 r/m, which should be about 600 r/m. The GE minigun fires 6,000 r/m, and adding more guns or more barrels would increase the rate, but ammunition is heavy.
I suspect there's a lot of hype combined with the reporter's ignorance in this story.
What do you guys know about this?
Tyrants have a long history of killing their scientists when something doesn’t work out the way they expect it. If one wants to live taking the money isn’t wise.
Couple of thoughts: 1) Put a couple of these in C-130s, and 2) $100 million is a lot of money to turn down, but watching your invention obliterate hundreds of izlamofazists in seconds is priceless.
Wow! Was he poached after 3 minutes? Was he served on toast or hash browns? Inquiring minds want to know.
Very interesting weapon and post. Thanks.
China will just have to wait for Hillary to sell it to them.
I doubt it.
It's a useless toy and I think the inventor is trying to get publicity.
The Chinese don't need Bill Gates to copy Windows. They don't need Madonna in order to copy Music Videos.
Good Stuff.
