sytasyn_syn Posted: June 4, 2008 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. What if you could mount this weapon on any military Humvee? Thats right Ladies & Gentlemen, God has finally made a weapon of his own. This sexy little thing is called DREAD or Multiple Projectile Delivery System (MPDS). No I dont know how DREAD fits in or where it came from, but I think that if I just made a weapons system as tight as this one, I would name it whatever the fuck I would wanted to.
This weapons system is the brainchild of weapons designer/inventor Charles St. George(gay name for the inventor, tight name for the gun). Who said his weapon will be 40 inches long, 32 inches wide, and 3 inches high. It will have an empty weight of only 28 pounds. The weapon will be capable of rotating 360 degrees and enjoy the same elevation and declination capabilities of any conventional vehicle-mounted gun/weapon.
So now that I bored you to death with that shit, heres some simple stuff that I understand. The DREAD is an electrically-powered centrifuge weapon, or centrifuge "gun". So, instead of using self-contained cartridges containing powdered propellant (gunpowder), the DREAD's ammunition will be .308 and .50 caliber round metal balls (steel, tungsten, tungsten carbide, ceramic-coated tungsten, etc...) that will be literally spun out of the weapon at speeds as high as 8000 fps (give or take a few hundred feet-per-second) at rather extreme rpm's, striking their targets with overwhelming and devastating firepower. We're talking about total target saturation, here. All this, of course, makes the DREAD revolutionary in the literal sense, as well as the conceptual one.
Now heres the really cool part, unlike conventional weapons that deliver a bullet to the target in intervals of about 180 feet, the DREAD's rounds will arrive only 30 thousandths of an inch apart, thereby presenting substantially more mass to the target in much less time than previously possible." This mass can be delivered to the target in 10-round bursts, or the DREAD can be programmed to deliver as many rounds as you want, per trigger-pull. Of course, the operator can just as easily set the DREAD to fire on full-auto, with no burst limiter. On that setting, the number of projectiles sent down range per trigger-pull will rely on the operator’s trigger control. Even then, every round is still going right into the target. You see, the DREAD's not just accurate, it's also recoilless. No recoil. None. So, every "fired" round is going right where you aim it.

placement is everthing put them on the south and north boarders of americaset them up to shoot anything illegal.lol
p.s I WANT ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR YOU
Super
I don't know if it is the same weapon or not, I have not read the article fully, but it sounds like the "Rail Gun" that works magnetically (works by magnets)thus no standard signature.
Tremendous velocity, no powder, now flash, no sound.......gotta hav one!!!!!!!

I dont see us carrying one of this any time soon!
