I can't get on "General Discussion" so I'm posting this here. I thought this was interesting and impossible. http://world.guns.ru/ammo/sp-e.htm This Post has been moved to "General Discussion".

    Damn, I had the same closed circuit idea but my piston travelled the length of a barrel and launched a round ball.Interesting that a short impulse the length of a cartridge case would give the bullet enough kick to work. Hmm

    & i have to wonder how tight that case gets after the piston slams into the taper at the end of the case. gotta be like shooting a 9mm in a 7.62x25.it can be done but it wouldnt be fun.
    the hard stuff we do right away - the impossible takes a little longer

    During the 60's the US military had a 12ga brass shotgun shell that used the piston principle for a silent shotgun.
