New Cartridge Developments and Implications for Dismounted Infantry Soldiers

[Variable]

The top row is caseless ammo. Which they've had much difficulty working out the bugs, so they decided to concentrate on the fatter, plastic-cased type at bottom of the photo.

I really don't know if those ideas are definitely goofy, or potentially great. But so far, it looks they plan on a conventional weapon configuration.

Okay thanks, and scratch my previous. I'm disregarding the top row (caseless) for now.

I found this vid:

That's helping me unscrew my head a little bit about how this thing works, and I can also see the "revolving chamber" in action. That was really tossing me for a loop. I couldn't picture it for the life of me. This is pretty neat--- if everything works as well as they say it does. No reason to disbelieve them, just healthy paranoia with anything involving government.LOL

Your picture above..... It ejects behind the feed area? That looks like an ejection port over the trigger area? I see the other beltfed is a "pusher" with no rearward "extraction"..... How does the one above work???


Heck, I'm still trying to wrap my marbles around the physics of the projectile being so deeply seated in the case. The base of the bullet is practically on the primer!

I guess if you want to roll your own you'd need an injection mold for the cases!
