I know next to nothing about guns and would like to know what set this gun apart from others. Thank you.

Is has mostly to do with the way the weapon re-loads after a particular round is fired, so that another round can be fired. Without getting too detailed, the design uses some of the “gas” expended when a round is fired to move the machinery in a certain way so that the next round is positioned to be fired.

That basic concept isn’t new, but the way he did it made for a VERY simple and relatively inexpensive design that is remarkably reliable and abuse tolerant. The design can be used in a wide variety of situations from rifle rounds to shotgun shells.

It’s not the most accurate design, but it works for a lot of situations.

I will wait for the later posts positing that he wasn’t the original designer.
