Didn't they unveil this like 4 years ago?
Although, I still think it's cool as shit and I would love to see the first production shoulder fired designs. Friggen lasers and railgunz, still no hoverboard... ![[Image: picsay-1358258813.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i739.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fxx33%2Fmr_gixxer9063%2Fpicsay-1358258813.jpg)

Seems like an incredible waste of money, to me. Unless there's a cost/benefit analysis I'm missing.

7300 FPS. Sounds like a good varmint round. Cost benefit? Have you priced powder lately?

Eliminating the need for explosives aboard ship ( thereby reducing the risks of secondary explosions if attacked), the ability to run smaller vessels with more firepower and less crew, and a projectile that can't be intercepted by enemy missile defense means less fired rounds and more enemies destroyed per shot. That seems a lot more efficient.
tolerance for failure meter... LOW
