as solid propellant stands now, your right, water would be a big problem, but I am sure some super-chemist somewhere could come up with something that would go bang when wet.
as for cleaning out the chamber, I dunno, mebbe make the entire caseless round the same diameter as the bullet, bullet gets fired, next bullet gets shoved in, pushing all the gunk in front of it, gun goes bang, gunk gets blown out...
its not the best solution, and I am not saying there won't be problems, but if we dont goto some sort of energy weapons, caseless is definately on the horizon IMO...
I have complete confidence in our engineers to make it work, then make it work better than what we currently have.
