      Ah, I see what you're trying to ask me. In answer, I will tell you what I told the last person who asked me a similar question:

      "My thinking around the design of the weapon is that the 'Gauss' barrel gives a speed boost to a bullet that is already traveling down the barrel. Essentially, the bullet and casing are modified so that the bullet is made or if a magnetic material (i.e. Steel) and the case is reduced in size to be both lighter and quieter when fired. Usually reducing the amount of power provided by the case lowers the velocity of the bullet, but in this weapon the Gauss barrel accelerates it to an extremely high velocity, mitigating the loss of power in the bullet. This means that the barrel doesn't need to be as long or the gun as large to produce a lethal projectile as it doesn't need to be accelerated from a standstill."

      So the weapon still uses a 'normal' bullet and casing, but a smaller one than normal, all the power is put into the bullet by the magnetic rail on the barrel. Look up 'Railguns' for more detail on how they work. Because the weapon still uses bullets and casings, it still needs a gas operated re-chambering system. I hope this answers your question.
