I'd say it was a case of someone seeing the potential, and trying to polish that turd until it finally shone, or got blued, as the case may be.
This looks like the final stages of that polishing, http://www.metalstorm.com/. Although I still wonder how easy and reliable it is to reload the handgun version.
But it's still doesn't hold the same charm to me like one of these, http://www.freedomarms.com/. Pricey, but charming.

Your first link took me to an article with pictures of some Aegis class cruisers and destroyers, and commentary about "torpedo defense system" tryout. And the company's head being ill. Wonder at the relationship!
Irony, though, for me. I wrote a paper back in 1994 that addressed a few of the problems of the antitorpedo torpedo, lack of money for ASW in general, and the orders of magnitude in difficulty increase of anti torpedo versus anti missile systems.
Wonder if anyone read it in the process. Doubt it, it was not that brilliant a piece of work. Glad to see it is getting some attention.
