an issue that arrises then is that is someone applies different battery you are not affecting the rof anymore its the fps that will be affected, which can be good and bad, allow for cqb to field levels by connecting dif battery.
also full auto draws too much current. with these currents the gun would also need isolation and short protection as it could range into danger territory quickly.

Yes, very similar to what I was thinking. It (electromagnetic motor ) needs to do both jobs for sure. I agree with the above poster that the piston needs be only the bare minimum.
You make a valid point BTW, the electromagnetic force is one of the strongest there is period. It's 10 (to the 39th power) more powerful than gravity. (Funny how the standard model of cosmology completely discounts the possibility of its roll in the cosmos....but that's another topic all together.
