CSI - DX4 - POT, WTF

Besides the fact that I wish real cops had the tech, resources, and success rate of the phony Crime Scene Cops on this ridiculous show, I love the plot devices. This week's episode involves a gun called the DX4, referred to as vaporizer that can shoot 100 thousand rounds a second and can "vaporize" its targe. While I do think a gun like this could exist, the name they gave it is also a name of a popular tobacco vaporizer called the DX4 vaporizer.

God, I love pot heads, especially ones the ones that write for CSI.

A gun like that does exist, there is a metal storm weapon that has a 'cylic rate of 1,000,000 rounds a minute. Caseless ammo, no moving parts, bullets are essentially embedded in c4 and detonated via small electrical charge.

For your viewing pleasure:

Metal Storm

Of course, there does not appear to be any kind of conventional feeding mechanism.

hehehe, I heard about something like this. Along with Rail Guns and particle guns... I think the writers naming it the Vaporizor was hilarious.

Thanks for the feed back.
