some of the positives

Here are some of the positives that I can see, I will also try and add some negatives.

POSITIVES
1/ Whoever is behind this equity has been buying up big so the money will come, otherwise they lose the same as we would, also the fact that the entity behind it is being very elusive, they are playing games, which begs the question, for what purpose?

2/ metalstorm have at least four technologies that have matured to a point where they are almost ready for sale, MAUL,3GL, Firestorm, Redback, ADWS? the fact that these weapons, especially the HE firing of the 3GL in Brisbane was the catalyst for the equity offer, they do not want metalstorm to get to a point where they could become self sufficient, for they would never get the opportunity to get more than half this company for a song then.

3/ Negative posters appearing now on this site in numbers, they haven't been here before this, they tell us to sell, or if there is another spike take the opportunity to take a profit or at least get some money back etc.

4/ The fact tat MOD still has a relatively large holding, he has sold his half now or just about, so that should see a cessation of his selling from now on or very soon.

5/The fact that the US Army attempts to emulate MST technology with it's stacked round el;electronically fired 120mm round with multiple smaller caliber lethal/nonlethal rounds to be used in existing weapons like artillery or guns mounted on Tanks, look back at my recent posts to get a description of this patent.

6/ I have always believed that Mach 5/50 was the killer technology, you only have to look at what sort of lengths the US is going to, to get weapons that do similar things to what the metalstorm technology can, they are spending very very large amounts of money on a type of rail gun technology that is capable of similar things to what the DSTO have got with the mach 5/50 60mm weapon they have developed and I believe they will continue to develop larger calibers as well? OK the US weapon has a greater velocity and can fire over greater distances, but it is not exactly light, cheap, or maneuverable like the metalstorm gun can be, they will want both, you can bank on that, because this mach 5/50 weapon is better by a factor of four to any similar caliber weapon that they have today, just think, for the price of one of those rail gun systems they have mounted in a tank with a similar sized vehicle towed by it, and housing some very heavy equipment, to enable it it fire at hypervelocity, geez they could have 100's of tanks fitted with a metalstorm mach 5/50 weapon that does very similar, give me a break please!

NEGATIVES

1/ Once the vote is taken and this entity gets control of more than half our company, and when you also add what they already have in ADR's and also what they have been buying here in Oz recently, well IMHO they will own between 60 to 70% of our company and possibly more? I just hope the numbers are still on our side, with any shares they don't hold, i.e MOD, Harmony, and all other stake holders still holding, I just hope that will be enough to stop them acquiring our shares compulsorily?

2/ Australia will lose the chance to own it's own HOME grown Defense company in it's own right, not one of these quasi Oz defense companies that are really only branches of some other countries defense industry.
Our politicians should hang their head in bl**dy shame!
We will be buying from the US what could have been home grown product, and more importantly they would have been buying from us, to help balance the books!
