Glad ya did ton of info that was cool.


metalstorm = 1,000,000 rounds a minute........Bah How bout sustained rate of fire.

[tg ur 1t]

The CIWS is an amazing gun to see fire. It sounds like a zipper on a huge megaphone.
If nobody noticed, I will point out the fact that the 20mm rounds are depleated uranium... (pause for effect) which means YOU can pick up the casings. (please don't, HM1 doesn't need all that paperwork)
There are several more facts that ESWS personnel or Phalanx technician could tell you about the CIWS, but some things shouldn't be publicly discussed.
If any of you ever get to see one fire.. just think about the poor pilot pulling the drone... or duck and brace for impact because some part of the inbound missle will still hit the ship.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this (cuz I didn't read all the posts), but the problem with the "Phalanx" is that they can't keep it loaded cuz it "spits" too fast.

It also sounds kinda like a high pitched fart when it fires. Pretty cool stuff.

It's either the British or Aussies, but I know the Americans have their hand in it somewhere (so I heard), but this link will take you to a video of Metal Storm. You thought bullets were fast, but can you imagine shooting 40mm Grenades at 3000 rounds per minute. Here is a link to video shooting 46 rounds at 3000 rounds per minute. http://www.metalstorm.com/04_videos/videos.html

Note: The video has a guy loading one tube in the gun. Well, that tube holds four grenades stacked on top of each other. All rounds are electronically fired off. It also seems easy enough to reload.

I saw a program on television saying that they will load 100's of tube on one truck and launch it to slaughter anything they want.

SECRET: If you look hard enough they have a 36 barreled gun that is capable of shooting 1,000,000 rounds a minute. Happy Hunting!

Also Dillon arms is a local company (Scottsdale AZ) that bought the military contract for the Gau-2 gatling gun you see in that monster garage video. They accuired the contract from General Electric once they redesigned the transfer unit and it was accepted by the USAF.



Ya that contract is worth 26 billion thru 2007.

Do they have an owner's group/message board? You should complain about the wait!

[big E kingpin]

ok well i may not have been to clear on what i said. ciws is designed to disable an inbound target, not destry it. now obviously 4500 spm is going to do a bit more damage then just disabling it. its made to disable and detect/track and engage 1 after an other.

[rehme]

ok i want to know where they got that from because if you get caught with a full auto gun you get 10 years in a fed. pentry.

i saw on the histry change that like the miltary is working with a new gun that shoots over a million bullets a minute and it does not use a hammer. it uses electro magnetic pulses or something like that and there is like 100 bullets in a barrel.

[JT2002]

well let us know whwen u find a vid of that!

Z-man, there is actually a federal firearms licensce that allows you to purchase essentially any conventional weapon you can think of. I know a guy who owns a .30 cal browning machinegun and a 57mm antitank gun, both fully operational.

yeah, I have one and own a M249.

Just in case

Yeah so I am stationed onboard the Harry S Truman, equipped with the CIWS mount. Most of you guys have never heard anything quite like when that gun shoots. There is no break in shots fired, just a straight line noise (just say the word bahhhh), and that is what it sounds like only 1000 times louder! The older software version of it could only shoot inbound air contacts such as missiles or planes. But they are upgrading now to be able to track and shoot surface contacts, such as other ships! How cool is that. The control station of course is located inside the skin of the ship, so you just lock your crosshairs on a TV screen onto a boat 1500 yards away and pull the trigger!!! Just like a video game. The navy has so much stuff! I really need to get a few pics up here for you guys to see.
