Hahaha...ok the ammo is in "liquid form" and is contained within the sealed shell. When the electrical current sparks it, like an "EGG" coagulating from the heat, it produces a bullet within a sealed chamber mold...which is then fired just as instantly because of the magnetic field. Basically as stated above the bullets DO travel pretty darn fast because if they didn't they would indeed smack the previous bullet in the rump area. Now would anyone justify the army in spending 3 billion dollars on a total of 30 of them? PAN~
