All gas-operated means is that expanding gases are drawn out of the barrel as the bullet passes through and used to push a piston back, and as the piston is connected to the bolt it pushes that back, too. The gas comes from the exploding powder and has squat to do with firing the round, only cycling the action for the next shot.
WoL, cave looks ace.
^ lol, my shotgun is gas-pow...i mean operated.
it wouldnt make much sense in practice, but cosmetically, if you had a semi exposed gear that grabs the teeth of the rocket barrel to make it spin it would look kinda cool. kind of like the minigun from UT2004Quote:

Stop offtopicness
...Except for the M16, whos major pitfall is the lack of a gas piston. Instead, its gas tube directly uses gas to cycle the bolt.
Also, the Sturmgewehr and other early style assault rifles used blowback. This was because early designers weren't certain the gas systems would work with the short barrels. Also, there was the fact that very few countries and developers were used to a gas system, while every SMG available at the time was either recoil operated or blowback operated.
By the way, very impressive textures on the cave. The shiny-ness helps :P
heh, speaking of gas powered, i had an amazing homemade burrito for lunch today, and i doused it with super-spicy guacamole sauce
worst decision ever
