I saw a video of this gun in operation about 2 years ago.. that is when it first hit the mags too. It is an interesting concept, but only really practical for vehicle mounted systems, or point defense.

It would make a great alternative to the Phalanx system currently protecting our ships from incoming missles. Last I head reloading was laborious and time consuming.. the BEST method was completely removing all of the barrels and attaching new ones with rounds already in them.

Their were some concerns about velocity and POI differences, since the first rounds would have significantly less barrel to travel through than the later rounds..

Looked freakin' awesome in the video though!
