This gadget has been around for 20 years, and noone has been able to find a use for it. The rounds don’t shoot accurately because the barrel length is different from subsequent rounds fired from the same barrel, in addition to being heated by previous rounds, and being subject to catastrophic destruction from cook-off. It is about as modern as the duck-foot flintlock pistol otherwise.

I was an EARLY investor...didn’t pan out. They even tried developing this technology for fire department ladder trucks to use fighting high-rise structure fires, a method of “shooting” ropes, water bombs and the like from one of those batteries attached to a scaffolding on a truck mounted ladder. Never materialized.

No military has bought any either...sure looks cool and I was awestruck and thought it was a sure fire hit so I threw some money their way.

Do you remember the “dread gun?” The thing that spins(?) and supposedly shoots ball-bearing-like projectiles, like 100,000 per minute with no recoil? I wonder what ever happened to that thing.
