piston stroke on VZ58 is only 19mm,if solenoid is powerfull can whack the bolt back-lipo batteries are small now
or gas cylinder hidden in grenade launcher mock up and knock sensor on barrel to activate piston-so hybrid sort of

Yep..
Anything more specific regarding this? Particularly interested in why rifles are sent to be approved when they clearly cannot be 'Self Loading'...
