Looks pretty ingenious for open battle space, aerial support, etc. Maybe Jesse Ventura predator minigun will finally be a reality! I imagine the 18E-18B duo can improvise one with antenna and some wiring

....I can see it coming though. Who needs barrel-chested freedom fighter when with a few contraptions here and there a 5'2" 110 lbs gorgeous lady can shoot a Barrett off hand. Plus, she serves as WMD, weapon of mass distraction!

That abortion publicly hit the infantry community way down here a week or so ago.
I'm ALL about experimenting and "failing fast".
But that thing is a case study of a bad solution in search of a non existent problem.

Added weight - looks like a good idea for heavy weapons but you still have to carry the extra weight to where you'll be shooting.
Don't see it as a plus in vegetated areas.

Now those in need of the most help can have some redundancy.
