  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is something a bit odd about this 
  announcement.&nbsp; </FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Any such leap in armament technology would 
  probably be kept very secret. Just this kind of announcement will have the 
  world's top spies trying to get the details.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. The amount of heat generated by the alleged 
  gun would quickly melt any known metal.&nbsp; How is the weapon cooled? 
  </FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Assuming that each&nbsp;cartridge weighs about 
  3 ounces, one minute of firing would require (240,000 x 16/3) =1,280,000 
  pounds&nbsp;(640 tons) of cartridges.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. There is a very elaborate military 
  testing&nbsp;facility outside of Washington, DC.;&nbsp;however&nbsp;the name 
  of this place is NOT Blossom Point.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since this weapon uses advance electronics, maybe 
  its a&nbsp;virtual gun.</FONT></DIV>

    <DIV><FONT face=Verdana>Here is an OZ company coming your way soon. The 
    Australian Stock Exchange queried the rapid rise in share price and the 
    following is their response.&nbsp; Because it is not a run of the mill share

    Price<BR><BR>METAL STORM DEMONSTRATES REVOLUTIONARY WEAPONS 
    SYSTEM.<BR><BR>International ballistics technology company, Metal Storm 
    Limited,<BR>today announced it had successfully completed its first major 
    test<BR>firing demonstration in the US, of its revolutionary, 100% 
    electronic<BR>weapons systems.<BR><BR>Senior personnel from the Pentagon and 
    US Armed Forces viewed the<BR>secured firing demonstrations at the Blossom 
    Point range outside<BR>Washington DC on July 19 and 20. Metal Storm's 
    technology, which has<BR>no known equivalent world-wide, and which some 
    leading defence<BR>figures have described as the most significant 
    breakthrough in<BR>ballistics over the past 100 years, is being closely 
    evaluated by the<BR>US Defense Department as a "new age" addition to its 
    armory.<BR><BR>In March 2000 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 
    (DARPA) -<BR>the body responsible for milestone defence projects including 
    the<BR>Stealth Fighter, M16 Assault Rifle and the JSTARS radar - 
    contracted<BR>a consortium containing Metal Storm to develop a prototype 
    advanced<BR>sniper rifle based on the technology. Mr Mike O'Dwyer, CEO of 
    Metal<BR>Storm, said that the test firings provided US defence 
    representatives<BR>with their first viewing of Metal Storm's prototype 
    weapons systems<BR>including:<BR><BR>* a six barrel 9mm system with an 
    electronically variable burst<BR>firing rate as high as 240,000 rounds per 
    minute. This system is a<BR>smaller version of a 36 barrel prototype which 
    has earlier fired a<BR>burst of 180 rounds at a rate exceeding one million 
    rounds per<BR>minute.<BR><BR>* A 40mm test bed which fires stacked grenades 
    at rates as high as<BR>20,000 rpm per barrel, which is being developed as an 
    area-denial<BR>system to replace anti-personnel land mines as well as a 
    range of<BR>other strategic military and civil applications.<BR><BR>* A 
    totally electronic specialist police and military personalised<BR>handgun 
    which is being developed to also incorporate a<BR>less-than-lethal function. 
    There is increased safety with these<BR>weapons because their all electronic 
    features will allow only<BR>authorized users with the correct micro chip to 
    use them.<BR><BR>According to Mr O'Dwyer, several potential applications 
    were already<BR>generating significant interest within US defence circles, 
    including<BR>an anti-personnel landmine replacement, a close-in weapon 
    system for<BR>ship self-defence and fire fighting applications for civilian 
    and<BR>military use. He said the US Government's stated objective to 
    phase<BR>out anti-personnel landmines provided an important 
    commercial<BR>opportunity for Metal Storm's technology.<BR><BR>"Based on the 
    latest round of 40mm development and testing in<BR>Australia, we are closer 
    to making a Metal Storm Area Denial Weapon<BR>System a military reality," he 
    said.<BR><BR>The technology will be formally introduced in the US at a 
    press<BR>conference at the National Press Club in Washington DC on Thursday 
    27<BR>July. The company also announced it had recently signed an 
    agreement<BR>with the Bank of New York to enable trade of Metal Storm 
    American<BR>Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in the US in the near 
    future.<BR><BR>FURTHER
