    Perhaps unpractical is a better word. It could do what it promised, just not for long. And it was a very niche tool for a failing state who needed resources for more important things.

    Really a decent execution on a fairly stupid idea. Given the period I don’t think they could’ve gotten much better for the solution to their mostly non-existent problem.

      If memory serves, the bullets often disintegrated into shrapnel in the process of curving out of the barrel, which is probably a mite inconvenient in most situations.

      It’s neat, but I wouldn’t want to bet my squad’s survival on it, that’s for damn sure.
