Page Clean-Up
Shouldn't this page be changed to a gun brand page and also split the weapons to different pages as well? --RaNgeR 19:58, 1 July 2012 (CDT)
- I don't think there's really enough entries for any given weapon to justify that. Just one page for the technology is a little nonstandard, but when these things have appeared in more than a handful of shows we'll take another look. Evil Tim 02:10, 25 July 2012 (CDT)
How does these weapons extract rounds from the barrel?
No matter how I think about it, I don't know how you could extract multiple rounds from multiple locations in a single barrel, could someone explain this? Z008MJ (talk) 10:42, 22 February 2016 (EST)
- It depends really. For the most part, the spent casings essentially act as a sabot for the subsequent round in the tube. When the next round is set off, the casing is sent forward with the projectile and falls away when clear of the barrel. In a way, they operate very much like Roman candles, except there's not delay charge needing to be burned before igniting lift charges. However, there was some descriptions that made it sound like rocket ball ammunition, like in the Volcanic firearms. --Blitzen (talk) 04:12, 25 April 2016 (EDT)
