	The 3GL is a 3-shot semi-automatic grenade launcher spun off from the Australian AICW program. It appears that it was supposed to be breech-loaded like a regular UBGL, but used proprietary grenade rounds that were designed so the heads of the second and third loaded rounds would slot into the base of the one in front of them, thus creating the stacked rounds without using a preloaded barrel: they appear to have used a similar pseudo-caseless system to VOG grenades so as to not have to deal with ejecting spent casings. Instead of using a direct electrical connection to trigger the propellants like other Metal Storm weapons, induction coils around the barrel were used to ignite the rounds. Unfortunately this concept was unsuited to use on carbines: the bulky device would seriously unbalance anything smaller than a full-sized rifle when loaded. Even at its goal weight of 5 pounds loaded, it would be two-thirds the weight of a loaded M4 carbine.		The 3GL is a 3-shot semi-automatic grenade launcher spun off from the Australian AICW program.

	'''Metal Storm Weapons''' are a series of proposed (and prototype) weapons created by the Australian company Metal Storm Ltd. These weapons use superposed loads in a single barrel with electrochemical ignition, allowing for enormously high fire rates due to a lack of moving parts. While quoting a cyclic fire rate of any kind is slightly misleading (since these weapons have no action and therefore no cycle of function) their headline proof-of-concept demonstrator, a 36-barrel rig called "Bertha," fired 180 shots at a total fire rate of one million rounds per minute (ie, 5 shots from each barrel at ~27,777 RPM), making it the fastest-firing gun in existence. This rig had notable pressure problems due to firing while the preceding bullet was still inside the barrel, and was not a practical weapon system. The Metal Storm VLE pistol appears to have also essentially been a proof of concept demonstrator to show how much the technology could be miniaturised. (Interestingly, [[CSI: Miami - Season 6\|Season 6]] of ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' depicted an exaggerated version of the "Bertha" rig ~~with over 200 barrels~~ under the fictional name "DX4 Vaporizer"; the prop from the show is also frequently confused with the real deal on the internet.)

	The technology's main shortcomings are reloading and varying ballistics; firstly, all but one of the Metal Storm weapons (the 3GL) required an entire pre-loaded barrel or barrel section to be replaced each time they were empty. Secondly, since the loads are stacked in the barrel, each successive projectile travels down a longer barrel and therefore has slightly different ballistics. This largely limited practical applications of the technology to mortars and repeating area-suppression grenade launchers where varying accuracy is not a major concern. The fact that batteries and electronics are innately less reliable and durable than a mechanical firing pin was also a factor, as by their nature all Metal Storm devices use electrical ignition. Additionally, since every shot requires the barrel to be longer, Metal Storm weapons inherently have lower ammunition capacities than a magazine or cylinder fed gun of the same length: as a casual example, even if it is assumed that a Metal Storm equivalent of a 5.56mm round would only be the size of a caseless round for the [[Heckler & Koch G11]], the equivalent of a 30-round STANAG magazine would be a barrel section 39 inches long.
