There was a fellow that tried to market a similar device, but in revolver format. There were no cases to eject, as the case from the last shell was used as the projectile for the next.

Hey, I remember that. It was a good idea really. The shell casing turned projectile was quite effective as well, behaved as a hollowpoint with enormous cavity. The edge tended to bite into anything it hit, rather than glance off...even car windshields.
Wonder what happened to the inventor.
Anyway, there's one problem I see with the MetalStorm technology: it's essentially a battery gun taken to the next level. Instead of many barrels for many shots, you get multiple rounds per barrel....and...then what? The only way to reload it in the field would be to swap barrels.
