Remington EtronX cutaway action diagram Q: I read about a Remington rifle called the EtronX that utilized an electric primer to ignite the powder charge. I believe it was introduced in three varmint calibres – .22-250, .220 Swift and .243 Win. Although the article mad mention of the EtronX it...

Yep, basically your trigger group is replaced with a battery. There was a plan to build a muzzle loader using similar technology, but I've never seen one.

The Electra's ignition system allows modern-day muzzleloader shooters to replace the 209 primer.
Likely like the Gyrojet? If and when there is, firearms, weapons or whatever, the general public won't likely hear about it until after it's also tested and discarded for one reason or another by government / military. Not saying whether the innovation is good or bad, just that government and or military has no use for it at times.
In some other cases, innovation is likely deemed to be unsafe for general public and practical purposes. For example, small or midget personal planes, helicopters and others that are combo vehicles that turn from an automobile into boats or aircraft. A malfunction on land is one thing, in the air, lake or ocean is another? People may hear about them from time to time, and then suddenly the info on them disappear?
Some of those ideas or innovations were invented prior to WWII and some likely snubbed out by it too. On the bright side, most people usually don't usually have too much concern of other people personally peeking into or crashing into their upper floors of 2, 3 story bedrooms and buildings while other people are busy doing whatever? ....uh, oh, now there's drones?
Love innovation and invention, but it has it's safety concerns and practical limitations too. Those issues usually create new problems and more laws. Sometimes, too many people are too blind of those issues while inventing or using them?

"Isn't there a new handgun I read about somewhere that's going to do the same and make the 1911 and all others obsolete?"
It will be more generations, if ever, for the 1911 (and the AR) to be obsolete.

Lol. That's wild.
Nope, not really.
Too unstable and not really all that accurate from what seen. There's a few YouTube videos out on the gyrojet.
This one of them:
Hah, yah! Handheld pocket rockets?
- Sort of like cheap bottle rockets stuck in a pipe or bottle w/o the metallic plating in some ways? - Little to no recoil.
More like Estes rocket hobby kits though with their electronic firing controllers and a lot more thrust.
