1,100 rounds a minute is roughly 18 rounds a second. Since the average pistol magazine hold 10-15 rounds, that means anyone shooting this ridiculous piece of hardware would empty the mag before he could release the trigger. We won't even talk about the slim chances of actually HITTING anything, which is hard enough at that cyclic rate even using a submachine gun with a buttstock and a two-hand grip.

This is a piece of ordnance looking for a purpose, namely in the hands of juvenile gangster wannabes. But now anyone who owns a Glock will be tarred as a nutcase fanatic whose weapons shoot "with the intensity of a high-pressure hose."

(Note to the writer: if you're going to try to work a pejorative metaphor, you might want to reconsider that one. Any firearm worthy of the name will shoot projectiles much, much faster than a water hose. If it's hosin' you're wantin', you might want to consider a Super Soaker.)

At least the author didn't mention that it's partially made of plastic - in other words "invisible to metal detectors". Or has that myth finally gone the way of the dodo?

Personally, I think that an M2 mounted on top of a jeep is pretty terrifying, expecially if you're not on the best of terms with the owner...
