Start at 1.25 minutes and it shows the cycling of the ammo on the MG. The rifle works same way except from a box magazinePerhaps I should have said "brassless" then ... but IIRC, they were called "caseless" when the idea first appeared a while back. But maybe not.
I wonder how it holds the bullet in place when chambering, and whether that support system would be reusable?
What has ended up happening is with aircraft the ceaseless ammo would cause issues with balance. Every fixed wing aircraft that I know of that carries a gun fires the ammo, and then circulates the links and cases back into the aircraft for storage, to help offset the loss of weight. The A10 is an example of this.
