A little realtiy

"One million rounds a minute" is a *great* headline

Whereas 1 round every 50 microseconds isn't. Same fact, different presentation.

High rates of fire reduce muzzle climb and in principle allow placing several rounds on 1 target *accurately*. thisis why the H&K G11 uses it. it's also a caseless ammo design with a clever rotating breech block to achieve the the high ROF (not sure what happened to it).

The reality is you'd select a burst level, hit the trigger and fire them.

As for reload I'd assume a system like the Multiple Launch Rocket System of prepackaged boxes, or at least a tube with a single column of rounds in.

However it's quite surprising they have made *no* serious military sales.

BTW if this taser cartridge is fired with a full power load it's still likely to hit with a fair degree of force and being solid could kill in the same that "Baton" rounds have if fired at too close a range.
