Been watching and waiting for years....

Though the barrel whip does concern me when it possibly comes to the longevity and life of weapons system

I saw the video a couple of days ago. I wonder, now that he's got it more or less perfected if it would be worth trying to market it somehow. Is there even a commercial use for it? I know 50 cal weapons are widely used, but is there any niche that this could fill? Other than being cool as heck that is.

I thought the same thing about the whipping but I doubt many people would ever put 50 rounds down the barrel.

What I see is one (very big strong) guy in a squad carrying this beast but I would guess any military considering this would want 1000 rounds of reliable barrel use

Also, does that one's barrel not flex at all during firing? I kind of thought that was standard for most rifles more or less?
