You ’re not going to want to be on the receiving goal of this DREAD gun , capable of cranking out 120,000 rounds per minute of .308 and .50 caliber round metal balls at 8000 invertebrate foot per 2nd ( ft / s ) . To give you some position , the M-16 rifle delivers its ammunition at 3200 ft / s , and can dart a mere 900 rung per min .
With this goliath , it ’s easy to fill the air with lead ( or steel , tungsten , tungsten carbide , ceramic - cake wolfram , etc … ) , because it has no backlash , spinning its projectile out using electric energy , not gunpowder . That makes it suitable for use in improper places , such as aboard artificial satellite . Jeez , it ’s as if sentence travelers knock off this furious beast off on someone ’s doorsill ; it look like the Starship Enterprise .

It has just 30 component parts and weighs a mere 28 pounds when empty .
