Please correct me if necessary; could this gun ever fire more than one round? With its "single, hidden barrel band"--which , BTW, isn't particularly hidden as it loops across the top of the barrel--that would mean the fore-stock and that heavy-behinded barrel must be propelled by the recoil to cycle the action. We can see the gap between the front of the frame above the trigger guard and the back end of the fore-stock, which allow room for the contraption to move enough to ramp the toggle and cycle the action, but without the spring that's hidden by a real carbine's fore-stock to help with the weight of a carbine-length bbl., how in the dickens is this thing ever going to work???
