do they make a hand gun that uses electric fired bullets to cut down on size & weight?

Question

I mean to set the powder off with a ark other than all the mechanic's

Answer 1

No, but Remington has produced some rifles that were electronically firing. This was in their "varmint" rifles to cut down on the slight movement of the rifle when the firing pin tripped in the bolt. I don't think it went over very big (expensive firearm and expensive ammo) and I think they have been discontinued.

Answer 2

Mmm probably not..about the system you describe. Forgeting that it would be prone to failure and electricity by nature is unpredictable, presenting a safety hazard, it probably wouldn't be reliable. Getting a consistent burn out of the powder would be a real trick.

Then we have the "low battery" light (aka oh sh*t light) (obviously, this thing would have to have batteries). Having a bad guy wielding something at you, I would rather a good old firing pin - primer ignition system.

Answer 3

What you are describing is called a caseless weapons system. The system was developed, but ultimately cancelled due to retooling cost, the end of the Cold War, and a myriad of other reasons. Prototype rifles such as the G11 were made by HK, but no civilian models were ever produced, and none are produced in the current market. It would be nearly impossible to find one.

Answer 4

I'm not sure how that would cut down on either size or weight. I mean, it's tough to replace a few grains of powder with any meaningful electronic propulsion system....
