Where I see the metalstorm as very useful for a number of applications (CIWS or area denial), storage of used barrels for reloading could cause a significant logistical problem. I presume they are too expensive to just throw away, or dump overboard, so once used, these units would need to be stored, and returned for reloading. Sure, we police up brass, and machine gun links at the range for re-use, but I think the logistics of that are quite different than the metalstorm units.
For remotely operated, or robotic area denial systems, the metal storm grenade system, in combination with some of the robotic mortar/mine deploying units could be really useful.
