New Super Gun Fires Bullets Super Fast
An Australian inventor has come up with a gun that can fire 180 rounds in one hundredth of a second, or an impossible 1 million rounds a minute – so fast that a bullet enters the barrel before the preceding one has even left the muzzle.
Incredibly, storekeeper James Michael O’Dwyer’s gun has no moving parts and operates entirely on electrical impulses.
Despite the fact that O’Dwyer’s invention has vast and even dizzying implications as an awesome military weapon, when he approached Australian defense officials in 1994 with his idea they turned a deaf ear. And when he showed his gun to former U.S. Special Forces chief Gen. Wayne Downing, the general said O’Dwyer was “certifiably” crazy.
