According to DefenseReview.com, the DREAD Weapon system is a revolutionary development in warfare that has the potential to vastly change U.S. military operations on land an in the air.
“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 (HMMWV), any helicopter/gunship, any armored personnel carrier (APC), and any other vehicle for which the technology were applicable?“
I’ll have to put the DREAD weapon system in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” category for now. But if this is true it could be the biggest development in small arms technology since the invention of the machine gun.
An extremely cheesy video outlining the DREADs capabilities is available after the break.
