    No it isn't banger.

    There was a hint about this on page 12 of this PDF here.
    http://pubs.drdc.gc.ca/PDFS/unc92/p532704.pdf

    I posted this earlier, some of it I have rehashed "I noticed on page twelve something I have never ever seen before in print, it is something I hypothesized about some time ago, something that would be extremely valuable to any rifle or gun,it may be a very simple means of recoil mitigation.

    On page twelve they mention possibility of recoil management by optimizing firing rate/time.

    What I said previously was that I suspected that when two or more projectiles are fired in a very short space of time and are still in the same barrel it effects the overall recoil, equal and opposite reactions occur i.e. in a recoil less rifle both ends of the barrel are open and so when a shot is fired the projectile is forced forward and the resulting gasses from the ignition of the propellant travel out the back at an equal pace, you don't want to stand too close behind either it is called the back blast danger area, nothing or very little is felt by the firer because it is an equal and opposite reaction the gasses disperse out the back without working on the weapon.

    In the case of a normal rifle, when the round is fired the projectile is forced from the barrel by the resulting gasses from the burnt propellant, these gasses which cause the projectile to move away from them also react with the weapon because the breech is closed, in effect it is like opening a bottle of soft drink that has been shaken up the only place they can escape is through the bottle opening.

    But in the case of a mach 5/50 round, the firing of the second round before the first has left the barrel causes disruption to the recoil gasses from the first in my opinion,the gasses in this case aren't working against the breech block as such, but they are working against the second projectile that is also traveling out of the barrel in the same direction as the first, so some of that recoil is washed off against the second projectile, if there were only two projectiles fired without a third or at least a sabot then the second projectile would suffer in velocity, it would just become a sacrificial round, BUT if you fired another third projectile or a sabot, with a propellant load it, then this third projectile or sabot whichever is the case will the one that absorbs the recoil from the first two projectile firings,this is what I am thinking?

    No wonder the US want this technology all to themselves!

    Mach 5/50 technology alone is worth billions!
    It is a paradigm shift in ballistic physics.
