This technology has made the price of this item jump from around $400.00 to over $10,000.00 and NOW if you ever wanted a gun, (or even cared to learn how to use it) you can’t afford it!

**cedric45** : please read the forum descriptions and stick to them. This is not the forum for ranting or debating about gun control. This thread was not even about gun control before you showed up.

The rest of you: If someone is trying to turn a factual thread into a debate, please don’t follow suit.

Since the factual question seems to have been answered, I’ll close this thread. If anyone has any remaining factual questions about the Metal Storm system, they can start a new thread here in GQ. For anyone wishing to debate personalized handguns that can only be fired by people it recognizes or gun control in general, I direct your attention to the Great Debates forum.
