I want these guns to be mass produced , and given to all righteous Bible believing Earthlings.

THIS WEAPON IS AWESOME!!!!   It is the future.   The guns NEVER jam, and can shoot thousands and even millions of rounds per second.

ALL HAIL METAL STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend and former participant in the Yom Kippur War writes the following.  Please note the LAST sentence...

The concept is based on a rocket bullet or caseless bullet (the primer & propellant are contained within the projectile) .  This has been in development for a long time.  Back in 1957 the CONARC (Continental Army Command) set up a office based out of John's Hopkins Univ. and MIT to explore future TBPs (Tactical Battle Proceedures) MIT took on the the SPIW program (Special Purpose Individual Weapons) and John's Hopkins took on the ALCLAD ( a special study on developing better infantry body armour protection, but also much more a study through records of the 3 million casualties on frequency and distribution of wounds, their physiology etc, so field hospitals can identify lethality factors, how to better triage, but besides saving lives it also gave insights how to make fire control tactics more lethal to the enemy.  In 1968 the SPIW program had reached the conclusion that the flechette ballistics (flechette ballistics is where the projectile has a built in ratio to unbalance rifling spin and convert it to yaw {a way to make the bullet tumble on reaching the target, thus converting all the bullets force into a broader surface volume}) was most optimal and Eugene Stoner's .223 caliber AR-15 (ARmalite-15) was seen by General Johnson to be the projector best suited for the Army's tactical missions. Thus the US military and NATO eventually adopted the 5.56 mm M-16. (or what North Bay makes under licence and known in Canada as the C-1, and C-2)   By the 1970s two other programs were derived from the ALCLAD studies one became known as the SALVO (Small caliber's with controlled dispersion patterns) the other was the SAWS program.
 
It was in SALVO that Eugene Stoner came to develop the gyro-rocket munition and Benny Cirkus began to develop caseless ammunition which seems to be the type of munition Metal Storm is using in their projectors.  Benny Cirkus, (my chaver Shimon used to work for him) lives in Kirat Arba.  Benny is originally from Bruno Czechslovokia where he apprenticed as an Armourer first class in the Skoda Werk, he survived Auschwitz and came to the eretz where he worked as a special projects weapon maker for IMI, last time I saw Benny was in Montreal at Snowdon Deli in 1998.  He had been in the states to negotiate a deal.  So sorry but most of the futuristic weapon system you see out there are all being made under an Israeli patent ;-).

You can use this Metal Storm cannon for short range air defense. When you link it to a radar and load it with explosive-splitter ammunition, the Israeli gouvernment would be able to defend Sederot from the Hamas missiles.

Perhaps a 20 - 30 mm caliber is enough.

nice but, it has it's potential flaws.
Since it's electronically operated, imagine having an entire army in the desert armed with this tech. Suddenly, and EMP pulse goes off, destroying the electronics of the weapons...leaving your armies worthless to defend themselves. Kaboom, your entire army is defeated.??

I don't like solutions that are a remedy for the symptoms.

I like a doctor that cures the sickness itself.

I think that would be a waste of good technology which would be better put to use against Iran or Syria.  The Arabs of Gaza should be wiped out using conventional weaponry....  Hell, the IDF D-9 Dozer with a flame thrower which would follow Sforno's commentary:

“You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the Land from before you; and you shall destroy all their prostration stones; all their molten images shall you destroy; and all their high places shall you demolish. You shall possess the Land and you shall settle it, for to you have I given the Land to possess it... But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the Land before you, those of them whom you leave shall be pins in your eyes and a surrounding barrier of thorns in your sides, and they will harass you upon the Land in which you dwell.” (BAMIDBAR 33:52-55)

Sforno provides a more immoderate explanation than Rashi. He shows “‘Vehorashtem’: When you burn out the Land’s inhabitants, you will merit to bestow upon your children the Land as an inheritance. If you do not burn them out, then even if you conquer the Land, you will not merit to allot it to your children as an inheritance.”

Further:

Settling the land and expelling the inhabitants in it are not only two sides of the same mitzvah, but each side is actually dependent upon the other. The Torah constantly warns us about the impossibility of fulfilling just half of the mitzvah: "If you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, those who remain shall be barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, causing you troubles in the land you settle." (Numbers 33:55) The Sforno adds: "If you don't BURN THEM OUT, even though you have conquered the land, you won't merit to inherit the land for your children". And here are the prophetic but painful words of the Ohr HaChayim: "Not only will they hold unto the part of the land that you weren't able to conquer, but even the parts that you succeeded in conquering, they will say to you, 'get out of here!'" In short, one is dependent on the other - there is no inheriting without disinheriting.

The texts are really prophetic. All the things, which is warned before, happened and happening. Islam is a totally insane cult, like Nazism. To shot down the missles is only fighting against the symptoms. The problem is Islam in Israel.

The bible is telling us in the book of judges about the half-moons of the Midianites and Gideons struggle against this peoples.

The half-moon is the symbol of Islam. So the texts are up to date. [I hope my interpretation is right, because I believe, that Allah is the old moon-idol al illah and the Muslimes are worshippers of an Idol]


But before Chaim is Prime Ministre of Israel nobody would do what is necessary. Olmert wouldn't do the right thing.
