But you need many barrels so total weight to dead weight is big and reloding isn't to easy...

I once wathced a video of the large 36 barrel version.

The only practical applications i could see for it was as a naval CIWS or to use at checkpoints and guard towers to destroy car bombs or suicide bombers.

well i heard that in australia they conducted test in making the breach in minefields with that,you knw when byllets hit ground so close to each other it is good to clear patch in minefield since every square feet is hit by the bullet so mines should detonate..
