It's an interesting concept but finding the proper application seems to be sort of elusive. Probably the most practical application would be as point defense against incoming missiles. Mounted on a ship to defend against incoming anti-ship missiles or on a tank to destroy incoming anti-tank missiles. It would probably be most useful for destroying incoming artillery and mortar fire. The US shipboard phalanx gun system was turned into a land based variant called C-Ram to defend bases in Iraq and Afghanistan against rockets mortars and such and it looks as if "metal storm" might be quite well suited to that sort of role.

I believe that system was being developed as an area denial weapon. Just a way to get around the treaties on land mines. They set them up to cover an area and use a sensor system to target anything that comes in. I wouldn't wt to be the guy who has to go around and reload them. That would suck to carry half the weapon system as a magazine.
