One application is very interesting..this below is in the contents

The times between the firings of the projectiles in firing tube weapons must be capable of being reduced to very short times, for example to times of ca. 0.02 second. Ammunition calibres of 9-60 mm, and preferably 20, 30, 40 mm grenade shells, must be capable of being utilized in the arrangement. These new trains of thought must also be capable of being integrated into metal storm technologies, where the ammunition device together with other ammunition technologies is arranged in arrays for multiple projectiles according to the invention and with high firing rates involving the firing of, for example, 45,000 rounds/minute from the respective firing tube or firearm. The new ammunition unit must also be capable of being used in conjunction with grenade shell launchers that are easy to transport to and to deploy at the point of firing. Terrain analysis and target acquisition arrangements of a previously disclosed kind must be capable of selecting suitable firing tubes, both with regard to the number of firing tubes fired and the type of ammunition contained in the respective firing tube to achieve the maximum effect of the coverage and sequences in conjunction with firings of multiple projectiles. 9 mm ammunition can be used, for example, in the case of firing of this kind. The present invention also offers a solution to this problem. From an overall point of view, the present inventions also endeavour to make available a financially advantageous handling and firing system where the parts involved can be embodied for one-off use, in spite of the aforementioned increased firing rates.
