Didn't they basically try that already with the Metalstorm project for naval CIWS trials? I thought that got dropped for some reason

I thought that got retooled into a fire suppressant system that never made the news again

Ngl, a version of Metalstorm that shoots those firefighting grenades that Thailand developed would be sick. Or convert old A-10s and load up their rotary cannons with them and use them to strafe forest fires and give them some sick red firetruck livery and call it Operation Extinguisher or something. In conclusion, government give me money for my cool ideas.

It looks like the company went into administrative bankruptcy and all they've done in 10 years is sell exploding drones to Australia, who sent them to Ukraine
