ABSTRACT:
An electrically discharged and gas operated firearm basically has of a main body with a gun barrel being attached to a front surface. A chute is defined vertically through the main body. A cartridge holding cassette slides into the chute. The cassette functions as both a clip and a firing chamber. A gas operated piston operates a slide that is used in moving and positioning the cassette in the chute as the firearm is being fired. A gas port from barrel to the piston port provides a path for the gases. A pulldown link operated by the slide engages the cassette to position the cassette as the piston operates. An indexer link engages the cassette to hold the cassette in a specific position for firing. A wedge shaped clutch within the main body maintains contact between the front face of the cassette and the back face of the front plate on the main body. An electrical trigger is attached to the front of the main body. An electrical firing pin mounted on the back plate of the main body directs an electrical pulse to an electric primer on the ammunition to fire the cartridge. The electrical controls contained within various parts of the firearm generates the electrical pulse as the trigger is pulled. The electrical controls can be set for full automatic, semiautomatic, burst in specific number of shots per each trigger pull and can incorporate electrical security controls to prevent unauthorized firing. This invention eliminates moment and rotation by directing inertia inline with the center of gravity and with the shooter arm and eliminates most kick caused by discharge and bolt action.
