We got to see a video of it in action about four years ago in my high school ap physics class. Someones father was in the military and he had snagged one of their promotional videos.

It looked neat, but it seemed somewhat less than practical. The bullets and powder are 'stacked' in the barrel, and then set off one at a time. How would you reload? What about the changing barrel length? etc.
