You still are shooting the missile down way too close to be an effective CIWS but at least shooting a literal wall of lead by emptying all the barrels at once in the space where a missile will be (or is) What if Metal Storm was shown as a last ditch deploy able wall of sorts against a missile that got past everything else. I'll start with one hilarious idea that while enshrined forever in the glory of author John Birmingham's Axis of Time book trilogy, fails spectacularly when confronted with reality that I posted once.Ī Metal Storm System for Ships: A Kinetic Shield "Of Sorts"īasically, Metal Storm Active protection system for ships So, here is a thread where we can all insert our best (okay generally dumb) ideas for weapons that we have ever come up with or posted here on SB and the War Room for scrutiny. (Insert the dying cries of thousands of VS threads) "Here is my plan for a new warship/ tank, missile, gun etc.tell me if it would work and why not."Īs always, they generally fail spectacularly when confronted by the cold, unyielding, unbending wall of the War Room and its users, known to be a particularly odd group of fellows who pride themselves on detailed facts, specifications, and actually are daring enough to believe that logistics and intelligence are the most important things a military needs.
We have all had those threads or ideas where we asked, "Hey, how would it be like if we mounted X weapon system on X platform that has never been done before? Would this work?"
