Any chance I can get one of those and use it on the woodchucks around my area?

Nice. But honestly, it looks like an intermediate technology. They've lightened it up some, but apparently it's cyclic rate is lower than the MK-19s and it's effective range is slightly less. (2200m - MK-19 and 2000m M307). What's really needed is a VERY high cyclic and sustained rate of fire. Do you know what the SUSTAINED rate of fire for the M307 is? The MK-19s is only about 40 rounds/min. Anyway, we need a sustained rate of something like 600 rounds/min. A rate of fire like that would allow what's been called 'fragmentation saturation' which would dramatically tip the scales in combat; especially in urban combat. A single such mount could hold off hordes of crazed, ill-trained lunatics with AKs and RPGs.
