It's been done before, and it was a huge flop.

How about the TROUNDS for a Dardick pistol? (probably mis-spelled)

Didn't the fine folks at the then BATF outlaw the Daisy caseless guns/ammo because it didn't leave rifling or marks (some technicality like it was a short barrel shotgun?)

No, I think it was just that Daisy didn't have a license to manufacture and sell firearms.

When I was a kid, my aunt got me a Shoot-n-Shell Fanner 50 and rifle AND a Derringer belt buckle. The motive force was a spring in the brass and the bang was complements of Greenie Stick-M Caps. My cousin Bobby and I had some great gun fights with them

Then came new year's eve and a party at our house. I was told that someone must have stolen them, but I still suspect my mom

Activ made the all plastic shells. Actually, they did have a steel washer in the rim/head area cast into the case under the plastic. They were some of the best shooting loads- and smelled good too- I've still got a few 3" loads.
