PLAN close in weapon

and the shrapnel from detonation would most likely be omni directional, not focused on the direction of the ship.

I doubt that.

With high speed, direction towards the ship and carrying huge momentum with it, if the missile exploded then I am almost certain that the shrapnel will mainly go towards the ship general direction due to retaining the previous momentum from the missile

Of course this depends on how close and in what angle to the missile the intercepter managed to get before destroying it.

General rule is that the closer the intercepter came to the missile, the more the missile momentum (force) will be cancelled out and redirected

Anyone care to translate the Chinese sentences?

With the kind of fire rate that would need that many barrels, I think their solution to missile debris is to make sure there are no debris left.

Work progress on extreme firing speed small caliber rotary cannons.

Frontal view, traveling to Xi’an to expedite pre-induction experimentation.

45 degree angle view.

2021 January 29th through 31st, at 051 base, complete success of 8 experiments, firing speed exceeded xx090 rounds per minute.

2021 March 29th through 30th, at 051 base, complete success of three experiment, firing speed exceeded xx376 rounds per minute.

Imagine if there are specialized defence ships placed in the periphery of a battle group that are tasked to intercept missiles with like 6 CIWS per ship and many short range missiles, I wonder if that would be better than having a fleet with only generic purpose ships?

That's at the least 22-23000 rounds per minute!

Kirov class fills the bill, once its expended all its S300 and Granit missiles.

If you checked one of the pictures, there are two barrels going off simultaneously, the one highest and the one lowest in the barrel.

So do we know in what platform this is going to be installed? Or is this for future platforms in mind?

It would have a significant increase of weight over the Type 1130, which is already a heavier turret than the 730. I can't see this on a small ship, like a frigate. But a large ship___
