ABSTRACT:
An electrically-fired cartridgeless ammunition projectile firearm system, which can operate with or without batteries, and which system has only one moving part is provided. The firearm system uses magnets to generate the charges which are required to detonate the projectiles, uses opposing magnets to eliminate the need for the inclusion of recoil springs after firing, and also uses magnets to dampen the recoil of the firearm. Additionally, it provides a firearm system, which, when loaded with a magazine and ready to fire, operates with no external openings with the exception of the muzzle and cooling slots surrounding the firing chamber, so that it can operate under almost any physical or climatic conditions. It is also designed to utilize a forward motion of its barrel on firing, which reduces the amount of recoil felt by the user. The several factors which reduce recoil, improves accuracy. It is simple in construction, design and operation, thereby providing a great reduction in production costs and in training requirements, even for operators having no firearm experience.
