If by JUST you mean last year then...

Seriously though, this was the thing to talk about when Pop. Mechanics did an extensive article on it. Then all the other magazines started doing things on it...

i think if you're trying to charge one of those you are dumber than my initial decision would suggest.

This is an entirely different approach to firearms. If the bullet actually went through you, and created little to no splintering or force-effect damage, it would probably take several to knock somebody down. But the fact remains, that yes, if the bullets were shot so fast, then people behind you would actually suffer much less damage. A big misconception here is that people think the military is going to carry 1,000,000 rounds into these machine guns. That's POTENTIAL firing rate. They don't count how many rounds in a minute. They do it by seconds and divide it by incremements. So, the gun would in effect only be in operation for milliseconds to seconds. This doesn't seem like it could inflict the maximum possible damage ratios over the greatest possible areas. Its a very interesting concept, but I don't think its readily militarily applicable.

sure maybe if they decide to charge you in line formation all at once. 2 seconds later you're out of ammo.
