I never owned one and hadn't thought about them in a very long time, but something caused them to pop into my head. They were there and then they weren't and I hadn't even noticed. Actually the demise of this idea doesn't come as a shock to me. Any of you guys ever own one, or do you still have one? Just curious

Midway still sells the primers. About $200 per 1000

I remember them.
everybody joked about the rifles battery's going dead right when you needed it most.

the trigger on the rifles was like pressing on,,, well,, a remote button is the best I can remember to describe it.

They can be a real bargain. The rifle was made using their top components, and it sold for near $2,000. You can have the bolt converted to a regular firing pin for about $200 as I hear. I've bought them for $600.

Voere also sold the caseless ammo.

There was an old .22 caseless ammo as well - from the 70s IIRC

I remember reading a report on that one where the test was to soak the ammo in water & fire it. The velocity of the water soaked ammo was higher!

I remember them. Handled a heavy barrel varminter. Never was interested in the concept.
Another solution looking for a problem to solve.

Just needed some sight picture recognition software to plug into it. Or better yet, a brain wave reading headset that fires the weapon when you're on target. The deluxe model could have adjustable sensitivity for confidence levels. The super deluxe version would fire a shotgun the instant your brain registered the correct lead.

When I saw the announcement on those, I wondered what whiz kid had come up with an answer to a question NO ONE ever asked.
This may be a partial answer to the issues with remlims
