Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1219914A2] Firearm similar to a rifle, of innovative conception. It uses projectiles without casings, and explosive liquid. The sequence of all the operations is governed electronically by a microprocessor, an electric motor turns the cylinder, a pressurised tank feeds the firing chamber and a sparking plug ignites the explosive. The firearm is very simple, it does not require complex mechanical parts, it is completely sealed and after use it is not used again (disposable) in that the remaining parts are of very little value. It can be made very easily, but only by those who are knowledgeable in electronics. It has sufficient firing autonomy and may be seen above all as a self-launching magazine. <IMAGE>
