Possible Resurrection
The rise of MOUT tactics in the early 2000s led to the possible resurrection of the XM214 system in a tank/APC CIWS role. General Dynamics, who held the license for the Microgun, increased the ROF to 12,000 rpm and offered the weapon mounted on armored fighting vehicles as anti-RPG or anti-ATGM defense.
As of ca. 2011, the XM214 has been dropped from the General Dynamics catalogue and replaced by the Iron Fist Active Protective System (APS).

Famous quotes containing the word resurrection:
“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 22:30.
“Since body and soul are radically different from one another and belong to different worlds, the destruction of the body cannot mean the destruction of the soul, any more than a musical composition can be destroyed when the instrument is destroyed.”
