Ah stackable ammo.
It's all fine and good until 1 round fails, and then the one behind it fires into it. Then promptly jams and explodes.
The great thing about guns. Any moron can be trained to maintain them in a shootable condition. That's a big plus. Things that rely on batteries and complex electronics to time ignition are far more prone to permanent failure, rather than a mechanical linkage which might lock up one time in a hundred, but'll usually be pretty quick to clear when it does. Electronics repair is much more time consuming than clearing a dud cartridge.
Electronics might be more reliable in theory, but when electronics fail, they usually fail for good.
Guns are mechanically simple, because guns work well the way they are.
