Re: Future of Firearms

I'd like to see something along the lines of the Metalstorm project. It uses electronic ignition and has multiple projectiles per barrel.

The prototype pistol I saw had four barrels grouped together to form the top section of the pistol. I'm not sure, but I think they had 8 projectiles per barrel.

Recoil was almost non-existent since the projectiles were actually miniature rockets (non-explosive tipped).

Effective range could be greatly extended, as velocity would not necessarily decrease after the initial firing.

It could also conceivably be much more accurate at distance (think extensible fins for stability).
