Economic power is what keeps us there. Killing everyone else has nothing to do with it. Thanks for those words of wisdom G.W. fanboy.
Go back to history class. We didn't become the number 1 country until after WW2 when foreign industry was bombed out and it enabled us to pick up the slack.

I'm no history buff. But I know we won't remain number 1 by blasting everyone else off the face of the earth. That just simply doesn't make sense.
Next month a new high-explosive munition will be fired in Singapore and then tested again by the U.S. Army, heralding what may be a sea change in weaponry: a gun that can fire 240,000 rounds per minute.
Thathahaha8217;s compared to 60 rounds per minute in a standard military machine gun.
Metal Storm Inc., a munitions company headquartered in Virginia but with its roots in Australia, has been developing a gun that can shoot at blistering speeds, albeit in short bursts as each barrel is reloaded.
A Metal Storm gun of any size hahaha8212; from a 9 mm hand-gun up to a machine gun size or a grenade launcher hahaha8212; has no moving parts other than the bullets or munition inside the barrel. Rather than chambering a single slug for each shot - very quickly in the case of machine guns hahaha8212; the bullets come pre-stacked inside the barrel and can be shot all at once, or one at a time, as the shooter decides through the electronic controls.
Because there are no moving parts, the weapon is less likely to jam, and will presumably need less maintenance.
that type of weapon is nothing new, however setting it up for use in a suburban area is just about the stupidest thing I've heard of in a long time
considering that the projectiles from that will not be stopped by nearly anything that they shoot at short of an armored vehicle (even then its questionable), it's the equivalent of guarding that location with bombs. in a suburb. absolutely stupid. if they ever need to use that it's pretty much a guarantee of killing many innocent nearby residents from stray fire
