A neat feature of the handgun is that the owner is the only one who can fire it. If you lose it and somebody else picks it up, it will not fire for them. Come in Buck Rogers

Dave, not so good a feature if you are relying on the firearm of your downed comrade after having lost/exhausted your own.
It's certainly more of a military proposition than a sporting thing, so I'm unsure why that safety feature is necessary.

Somewhat misleading when it probably can only fire 180 rounds at a time. When I see a million spent cases in back of the gun after 1 minute of firing I'll be impressed.
Al, it's caseless, with no moving parts.
Each "barrel" has 10 or so charges of "powder" and projectile. They are ignited electrically, starting with the first round at the front, then proceeding through the charge.
To reload, you replace the barrel.
There's almost no sporting application for it.

Makes sense. Thanks
