Inventing a Gun

The thoughts for blueprints for components to arsenals have been racing through my mind a lot, lately. I've written a lot of ideas down. One I'm currently dwelling upon is a portable handgun, where the slide and barrel retract into the gun, while also using caseless ammunition to lessen need for multiple mechanisms. I'm even starting to think about a new formula for said ammo... I guess I'm not really looking for pointers, but I'd just like to speak my mind, I suppose. What do you think of a teen starting a career in inventing?

  • I am trying to grasp how that would look. How big would it be? You also have to understand the pressure that associate with discharge of ammunition. Any structural weak point, like a collapsing barrel will have to be beefed up in that regard. Ruger made a take down model of the 10/22 that you can take apart and store in a backpack. They had to really beef up that locking mechanism for it now to have issues with venting or even exploding from that breach in the chamber, and that is just a .22. Now with a high speed round similar to a 9mm +P you will have to really beef up that collapsing barrel just to withstand pressure. Have you made any drawings? I'd like to see your idea.
