We already have automatic nerf and paintball turrets which to me says even if I haven’t seen one, it exists for real guns too.

I'd like to introduce you to the US Navy's Phalanx CWIS. It's a fully automated 20mm rotary turret designed to destroy aircraft, missiles, and small boats.

I'm not sure I understand what is going on in that video. Is the line from tracers and it's just firing stupidly fast?

[-] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago

Yeah. The line is tracers. Only every 7th round or something like that is a tracer, though. So for every one you're seeing there's another six you're not seeing. It's very much an 'accuracy by volume' sort of deal.

The thing looks goofy as hell, though.
