I don't think you're understanding the nature of this technology. There is no "muzzle blast." It doesn't use an explosion to propell the projectile.
I like the old fashioned, 'Pull the trigger and *blamo*' mechanical contraptions.
What is this new fangled stuff ? Is it like, the electronic 'rail gun' that uses magnetic induction to fire projectiles or sumthin' ? If it is, its way over this pharm boy's head.

Nah. Think of it as a box of Roman candles, set off electrically with an electronic switching setup. Even an old plough jockey could rig something along those basic lines up- the real trick will be in the materials and projectile design.
