Metal Storm Signs a US$331,426 Contract to Develop 18mm Stacked Round Firing Systems

Category: Contracts

Metal Storm was awarded a US$331,426 contract by the United States Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Ground Combat Element Branch for the development, manufacture, and tests of 18mm stacked round firing systems.

According to the contract, Metal Storm will explore the feasibility of employing 18mm fin-stabilised high explosive projectiles from an accessory under-barrel weapon for the M-16A4 service rifle. The firing technology will be a test-bed potentially leading to Marine Corps experimentation with larger diameter finned projectiles than are possible with shotgun-launched munitions.
