Background
Metal Storm (The Firearm Blog)
"Metal Storm was a brand name for a an emerging electronic ignition concept pioneered just before and actively marketed after the turn of the century. Known for its ability for near insane rates of fire, the technology peaked around 2003 and fizzled commercially with bankruptcy in 2012.
Funny name aside, Metal Storm was and still is a highly interesting technology. By using electronic ignition, one can precisely control the moment of combustion and thereby create a more accurate weapon systems. If one were to pull the hammer or striker assembly out of a TrackingPoint, it’s fundamentally the same idea/ concept – at least for the timing of ignition."

@GeneralOliverVonBismarck I believe this thing can go full automatic with configurable fire rate. Pretty much it can expend most of its ammo in a snap.
@Pilotmario Yeah, it usually fires in three round burst I believe. Since three rounds are fired before recoil is felt, accuracy/hit chance is much greater. But, why do you need three bullet holes in the same spot?
"You know, there are some weapons that had promise but for some reason, usually politics, doesn't get accepted. Others are neat novelties that failed to gain traction due to factors such as reliability, cost, and practicality. This pistol belongs in the latter category."
