Metal Storm is an Australian defence technology company that makes guns that can fire up to a million rounds per minute.
The weapons contain bullets that are loaded directly into the barrel in stacks and then fire one after the other with an electric current as the trigger. The advantages of this design is its simplicity – there are no moving parts – and the incredible firing rates that are possible. Here’s a video of one of the guns in action:
