[geeks] Just when you thought the usa was gun happy :-)

[Shawn Wallbridge]

The gun in question has 36 barrels, so it wouldn't be carried. It would be
mounted on something or in something (think .50 cal).

Ok, the gun in question may be great, and it may have a shit load of
ammo available. But at a million rounds a second, I wonder if it can
hold that much. Can any gun that is one person carried weapon with
such a high rate of fire last a second? How bout even half a second?
