Wow indeed! That gun does just about everything.

I would hate to think about what it costs!

I found the 5000+ round barrel life interesting. I'm wondering of the bore is chrome-lined.

The firing was a demo -- not how it would be done in the field in combat conditions.

Isn't this quite outdated by now?
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

Except for the slow speed and exaggerated jumping, this is how they fire the guns in war too.
Time tested method apparently.
