Australian Million-rounds-a-minute Gun May Need a War to Get Going
The wannabe ballistics concern Metal Storm still appears to be holding out for the day when people will get serious about packing more fast-firing grenade launchers and M16s. In the eight years since the company listed, the market has failed to recognise the allure of Metal Storm's three-shot grenade launcher and "high explosive, enhance blast and airburst" 40 millimetre munition technology....

****'em IMO. They want to sell a weapon like that on the open arms market yet won't let their own citizens own firearms they can go to hell, where I'm sure there's a special seat reserved for them.

I think I am going to have to agree with Aiformula. I don't understand the logic you are using. The firearms laws of a country have nothing to do with what the defense companies are trying to produce and sell. They aren't related. Especially in the case of Metal Storm since it has absolutely NO place in a civilian market for firearms.

I won't condemn all Aussies because of their douchebag ex-Prime Minister John Howard.
Keep in mind that there are tons of gun loving Aussies that look to the United States and to the NRA with great admiration. I have actually perused their Australian Gun lobby websites, and you wouldn't believe the admiration that is expressed in their forums for the U.S. gun owners and how well we have fought to preserve our rights(so far). They are good people that are living under a dictatorship, IMHO.
