I really, really want one of these.

The DREAD weapon system

Imagine a gun with no recoil, no sound, no heat, no gunpowder, no visible firing signature (muzzle flash), and no stoppages or jams of any kind. Now imagine that this gun could fire .308 caliber and .50 caliber metal projectiles accurately at up to 8,000 fps (feet-per-second), featured an infinitely variable/programmable cyclic rate-of-fire (as high as 120,000 rounds-per-minute), and were capable of laying down a 360-degree field of fire.


Can I have one... please... please!! Can I put the entire Labour Cabinet (and throw in David Cameron for good measure) in front of it? Failing that can I have one mounted on the roof in case the pikeys come past?

Got a picture of one of those? I know a guy who could knock you up something dangerous in his shed in next to no time for a consideration

There's a couple of drawings of it if you follow the link on the post and, at the bottom, there's a movie but it's just an animation - no actual footage of the beastie in action laying down a storm of supersonic metal golfballs. I suspect that, regrettably, this item might be vapourware.
