Oh yeah, what's the purpose of a gun firing bullets at 1,000,000 rounds per minute? Is this anti-personel weaponry or anti-vehicle weaponry?
Or anti-missile weaponry? What would an AWACS {Correction: Phalanx} mounted in space on a satelite be able to do to an outbound, inbound ICBM? What if it could fire 1 million rounds per minute? Bet it could even have a shot at taking out 50 individually-targetted warheads.

(As for being on the ground when it shoots downward, the bullets would burn up on re-entry.)
