Thought I'd start a thread about ideas for alternative propellants.
I saw some old research data back in high school that showed some tests that (I think FN) did with gasoline for a propellant, and obtained incredible muzzle velocities of over 4500fps with a 6mm round, but had problems making the thing reliable.
What sorts of propellents could we look forward to in the future of firearms? Any thoughts?
