Huh, a linear motor piston definitely can be done, we are looking at a low power coilgun basically. Its true that size would make it less than practical but it could work. Also the generation of today is no different from the generation of past, just younger and less experienced.
Another thing that was brought up was using rare earth magnets which would totally do the trick for full auto fire as the efficiency should be reasonable. it just would not fit in ver2/3 form factor easily and be expensive to manufacture by my estimate.
