I talked with a gunsmith with some experience in prototype weapons and he liked some of my ideas. One thing I hadn't thought of that he did is that it will lend itself well to a "continuously variable" cycle rate. Big heat and inertia problems though. Apparently, energy can't be created or destroyed, only change form. Damn! What percentage of heat in a bbl. comes from friction vs. hot gas?
