No, not that many barrels. A couple dozen, I think. There's some clips
of
it being tested on youtube. They fire a *bunch* of rounds and all you
bear
is one "BAM!" if I recall correctly. It's capable in theory of firing
more
than a million rounds per minute, but in practice I think that would be
more
expensive to set up than it would be worth. It caused a bit of a stir
when
it was first announced a few years ago, but mostly in places like popular
mechanics magazine.
