since they don't show it being reloaded, i take it the barrels come preloaded making it basically in practice a onetime use point defense weapon and also making a much heavier and more expensive reloading operation than the standard belt or magazine if and when the time comes

Here’s an article from gizmodo on the dread gun I found after I got curious.
http://gizmodo.com/224739/dread-silent—monster-weapon-spins-out-120000-rounds-per-minute
I think it is electrically powered, but it spins out the balls like a leaky centrifuge I think. From another article: “the DREAD is an electrically-powered centrifuge weapon, or centrifuge “gun.”
Pretty wild in any case. I wonder what the forces would be like for something spinning so fast, would it have a gyroscopic effect?

Kind of a Cave Man super slingshot. David and Goliath stuff.

Again, we are the toughest military in the world and can kick ANYBODY'S ash if Obama and the rest will just get out of the way.
