Try doging that bullet....

[Mortblanc]

The media loves to pull these test demos out of the hat as if they were already in production and thousands were in the hands of the troops. This device will probably never reach the lines and if it does the numbers will be so limited the average soldier will never see one. We were testing technology in the 1980s that has never made it to the front lines. Too inefficient, too delicate, too expensive.

Over here anything 50 caliber or over, other than a black powder gun, is considered a "destructive device" and kept in the hands of the military. This thing would never make it into the hands of hunters or normal civilians.

The cost per round on this device is probably astronomical too. Probably several thousand pounds per shot. A standard 50 caliber BMG round, such as used in the Barrett .50, sells for about 2 pounds each in your money and that is 150 year old technology.
