Self-exploding rounds, the rounds are set to detonate next to the target so even though the locals might get a light shower of lead, the rounds would not continue down-range and cause carnage.

>A.Nony, the article stated that rounds which don’t impact their targets are fused to explode.
What do you think will happen to the fragments of the rounds after the explosion?

Metal storm sucks, and would be terrible in this role.
Just because you can fire rounds REALLY FAST doesnt mean anything if your ammo capacity is small, which is always going to be the case with metal storm, thanks to the fact that the ammo has to be stored in barrels, so each barrel can only take a handful of shots.
You need a lot of ammo to shoot down incoming mortars and such, and that means endurance. Maybe a metal storm would take out 1 target then be spent, and you’d have to send it back to the factory to be reloaded, what nonsense.
Metal storm is basically an overglorified big shotgun.

A.Nony, the article stated that rounds which don’t impact their targets are fused to explode. Did you bother reading the article before showing your “blood libel?”

Would the jews care if uninvolved arab civilians got killed? No. They never have in the past, so no reason to see why they would start now.
Hey A.Nony, your blood libel is showing.

What happens to the projectiles that DON’T hit the incoming target? Israel and Gaza etc…are pretty well populated…
Anyone know?

If the C-RAM proves effective, Israel had better be prepared for the Palestinians to switch tactics. Homegrown Qassam missles are much preferable to suicide bombers or Katyusha rockets.

Middle East Newsline reported years ago about the difficulties of anti-mortar radars, and low detection rate by these radars within Iraq. Integrated with C-RAM, it’s not going to be a silver bullet what the Israelis are going to want.
