O'Dwyer VLe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The O'Dwyer VLe is an experimental handgun created by Australian inventor Mike O'Dwyer. It is revolutionary in that it uses bullets stacked in the barrel, instead of a box magazine, and fires them with electricity, rather than a firing pin. This enables it to use caseless ammunition to cut down on weight. Also, it has no moving parts other than the bullets, making it extremely reliable. However, it could fail in the face of an electromagnetic pulse.
