The multi-barreled gun - saw it once on TV about 10 years ago. Never seen it since. Did it ever get developed?

Answer 1

Do you mean the multiple barrel one where multiple ammo rounds are located in the same barrel and are fired off electronically? As each round strkes pretty much where the previous round did they could saw through armour plate it was claimed.

I don't know what happened to it though.

Answer 2

First, it's not at all realistic to use Recovery.gov as the source of these jobs because those numbers have already been exposed to be unreliable. Next, just LOOK at those numbers! I took a quick gander at Pennsylvania, where I happen to live. They report $4,527,781,391 awarded, $428,596,627 actually received, and 7426 jobs created or saved. Even if you are optimistic, and assume that ONLY the $428,596,627 will be spent to save those 7426 jobs, that works out to $57,000/job. Really??? They spent $57,000 of MY tax money PER JOB? If the blow the whole $4.5B and don't get any more jobs out of it, that will be $609,000 per job. If you are an optimist, you'll hope for the $57,000. I am not. I bet they will squander the whole amount and end up somewhere in between, like $100,000/job. Even if it's only $57,000, do you all realize what an OUTRAGE this is? They blew $57 grand to save ONE JOB. They are not supposed to be paying peoples' salaries with my tax money. They are just supposed to be keeping things afloat and stimulating businesses to keep or hire people. This exposes the stimulus for the sham that it is. All they have done is borrow lots of money and pay people with it. That cannot and will not last. This is exactly what happened in the 1930s. Roosevelt borrowed, spent, and co-opted massive parts of the economy. For a few years, it reduced unemployment. But by 1937, the unemployment was climbing like mad again. To recap: 1. The numbers are a fraud. 2. Even if they are true, they are an expensive disgrace 3. When the money is all spent, the economy will be far far worse off than it was a year ago, with a lot more debt. You cannot rescue an economy on borrowed money.

Answer 3

These have been in use for many years. In Vietnam, they had cargo planes equiped with something like three guns on one side and the body pretty full of bullets. The guns have a cluster of barrels that rotate. Each rotation fires each barrel once. They are driven by a pretty powerful motor and can shoot thousands of bullets per minute. I'm sure thst they are in use in our present conflicts. A version of this gun is used along with a radar system on ships to shoot down any article approaching at or near sea level. They look like a large bubble gum machine. The bullets that they use are often spent uranium because it is heavier than lead.

Answer 4

Yeah think it was the one that fired the equivalent of 10,000 / sec, like a matrix of barrels, not a gat' gun like the minigun.

Not too sure the actual reason behind development, as the rate of fire was not sustainable due to the impossibility of chambering rounds at that speed - don't know if the thinking was a last line of defence anti missle gun?

Answer 5

Double barrel shot gun.
