Like I said, one of those patents that the adder found relates directly to mach 5/50, the one that mentions cartridges with two projectiles ranging from 9 mm to 60mm, this is the adaption by Bofors I believe on what the DSTO has developed, it has all been happening in the background, and yes if you like under a shroud of secrecy, there has been a deliberate attempt by either the US or companies in the US to put a lid on anything related to metalstorm IMHO, you only have to look back at several announcements by metalstorm themselves, where they have won small contracts with company x for instance and where metalstorm have told us that they will tell us more once these companies give their permission, it never happened!
This is the patent I spoke about above:-http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=20090126594.PGNR.&OS=DN/20090126594&RS=DN/20090126594
And this one by Locheed Martin relates to underwater firing of metalstorm electronically fired stacked supercavitating rounds, that are fired from a torpedo or or a unmanned underwater vehicle, which can return to a given point for reloading in the case of the UUV, something else that has been kept under wraps until now.
This is the LM patent http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=/netahtml/PTO/srchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=20060265927.PGNR.&OS=DN/20060265927&RS=DN/20060265927
