Your post makes sense CjsfromNSW, it does look like 10/11 will be the crunch year.

Based on your informed comments, if I was nervous, I might think the big boys will in fact wait it out and try to see MST fall over and then buy the patents relatively cheaply while dismissing the note/options/shareholders.

However just as a logical amateur, this only sounds plausible if the boys are somehow working together. I'd like to think that such a strategy would be unwise from any particular outfit, as there might or would be other interested groups that have a vested interest in not waiting like that? I mean, in this case there seems to be absolutely no doubt about the huge potential income stream of the technology? For example, I'm wondering if Patents are being filed (as reported) for 3rd party gear that makes use of 'Metal Storm Technology', then presumably it may suit to plan for your own 3rd party profits 'now' while MST survives by coming along for the ride?

At the end of the day, I find all this second guessing to be quite frustrating, and an unacceptable method to base potential investments either way. I wish we could have a MST 'BUSINESS PLAN' released NOW to provide some sort of serious roadmap of the potential way forward. I presume it is not unprecedented for a listed Company to have a published business plan - especially now that we are getting to the pointy end of developments?

Meanwhile, I'd still like to have a better handle on the apparent total number of MST shares/options out there, if anyone can help.
