not.... as such.

They use a two part projectile idea. The pellet sits in front of an actual magnetic component. The magnetic component moves and stops short of leaving the barrel, the non-magnetic (pellet) continues on it's path.

They've got a pretty slow recharge rate though.

1 shot per 5 seconds, and 1 shot per 7.5 seconds (the "flash" model and the "needle" model respectively)
