100% Electronic Handgun Prototype
Metal Storm has successfully test fired the world’s first totally electronic handgun.
A prototype military and specialist police weapon which operates without any of the moving parts of conventional systems.
No parts to wear, none to maintain, and none to jam.
Unlike all other handguns, the only parts which move in this weapon are the bullets.
The VLe enjoys the jam-free reliability of total non-mechanical operation, and fires rounds which are stacked directly in the barrels.
Even the magazine is gone - replaced by electronics which control every operation of the weapon.
The VLe handgun provides the safety of electronic locking, which can limit firing access, and prevent unauthorised use.
The weapon will only operate when a correct response is received to a coded transmission. It then becomes active in just a tenth of a second.
With the safety “off”, it’s ready to fire.
If the coded receiver is removed, the weapon can be set to return to 'Safe' mode…
This electronic ballistics technology can protect police officers by preventing a criminal shooting an officer with his or her own gun.
And because the operating system is entirely electronic, the weapon’s software can very easily incorporate future improvements in developing Security technologies such as finger print recognition.
The electronics can store the weapon’s ownership data to reduce theft and illegal trafficking in arms.
The memory can also store an accurate history of the weapon’s use.
This is a talking weapon and it can audibly confirm all fire and safety settings to the police officer as well as signal any change in settings to a criminal. As a result the criminal is aware in the increase in response level and has an opportunity to back down.
For the first time, a police officer can choose between lethal bullets or non-lethal projectiles such as small bean bags. It’s a choice which can resolve a conflict without causing serious injury. With this technology a lethal response is not the only response.
It is a feature of this weapon that, in the unlikely event of a misfire, firing the following round will clear both rounds from the barrel. The fully developed weapon will include a rapid reload capability and will be designed to be able to operate without a battery.
A recoiling barrel will enable multiple rounds to be fired at a single aim point before recoil effect.
The amazing capabilities of the O’Dwyer VLe truly brings handguns into the age of full electronics with new levels of safety, security and reliability.
