This intrigued DARPA representatives in expanding the possibilites of Metal Storm. Before former CEO Daniel Adler 's suspected death, Metal Storm was completely redesigned by the Corporations engineers with the help of DARPA which developed Metal Storm XM, a near identical weapon system that was capable of firing scaled-down explosive SMART projectiles similar to the XM25 CDTE which was no larger then a the United States standard issue Light machine gun. It was completely revolutionary, as it provided the same amount of conventional firepower as a USAF Laser Guided SMART Bomb. It was later decided to create an updated version that used smaller-welded explosives due to the previous weapons colladeral damage, Metal Storm XS.
