Emotion: See Angst
Dread is the name for a revolutionary new weapons system. It uses a rotating drum or wheel to spin spherical projectiles up to a high speed and launch them by centrifugal force. The design allows for a very high rate of fire, variable projectile velocity, and uses nothing but electricity (no gunpowder, cordite, etc.). The manufacturers claim that the system is silent and has no muzzle flash or recoil. They likewise claim that the system has no centrifugal effects though it is not known how the operator could change the plane of rotation to hit targets above or below the initial line of sight. The system could fire rounds at variable velocities for less than lethal and lethal effects. The manufacturers claim that it could be mounted on satellites. The DREAD system could deliver closely spaced rounds for more mass to target than any other gun.
