Whatever happened to this stupid thing?

They realized you could just use claymores instead.

Didn't have the budget for it. Gotta keep the F35 furnace burning.

They realized it was fucking stupid.

>>29942582
They learned that a high firing rate does not make up for the fact that a disposable machine gun is fucking retarded.

The triple 40mm launcher made it into Arma 3 though.

>>29942582
They're still reloading it to this day.

what are those 4 shoulder things that go up good for?

The idea for a mortar was pretty cool but it doesn't do anything that existing tech doesn't do already. Unless it's infinitely cheaper to buy than conventional systems then what's the point?

The company went out of business. Noone ever bought any of them.

Somebody finally ordered one but they went out of business before they finished forging all those barrels.

Publicly bankrupted while being quietly bought out just like the bear suit guy. Most likely privately.
The flashy show off model isn't the end product of the tech.
It can be scaled down into a single tube that is an electronic controlled select fire weapon system that can be built for any sized round.
In the robot soldier market this is going to be more useful than fingers. Its lighter, cheaper, more versatile than using mounted standard arms.
