A conveyor belt of rounds are packed by a mechanism in the
stock.
A backpack could carry the powder and buckshot so
automatic fire could be sustained for several minutes with
the addition of the appropriate cooling mechanism.
I would call this the CAS-1 Dragonfire. (Continuous Automatic
Shotgun #1)
An army equipped with one of these per squad would best be
left un-engaged in close combat.

[Steps back and waits for [8th] to first pick this idea to
pieces, then describe several obscure examples developed by
German munitions, then say something about cats] |

I think I just spotted him making his way over your
garden fence, carrying a large double
compartment bag that was connected to
something resembling a horizontal drain pipe. This
might be a good time to release the pet GM
cauliflower triffid. |

Hasn't the DOD been working out how to get rid of casings
for ages? Heavy and ultimately wasted. Isn't the pack of the
powder quite important? How is the primer engaged with
this? Is there a primer? |

Because that backpack could blow any second... |

What a truly excellent idea ... we can't see a single flaw in it. We will even manufacture the prototype for you, if you will agree to do all the live-fire testing in person while we watch from behind a pile of sandbags |

Yes. However, the technology (the de Bange obturator) is Baked, WKTE, and still used by the few remaining large-calibre naval rifles still in service. |

... but can be, and usually are, recycled. |

Bagged charges tend to use extruded ('cordite') propellants rather than powder |

Rarely has there been a more appropriately named inventor. |

Our are you just pretending it was invented by somebody
French? |
