While it should work, it wouldn't be very practical. Especially considering all the much better designs out there. Kinda like taking as revolver and straightening out the cylinder into a strip. One could use a mechanical stop similar to those used on revolvers instead of using the bullet itself. Problem is you lose compactness and balance. How does one design a holster for a handgun where it's whole configuration changes with every shot fired. Mags, because they are also the chamber would have to be strong....thus heavy and awkward to change/carry extras. With every shot the center of balance would change as the heavy mag moved upward. while the mag could rest in the grip on the first round, where does it go as it moves up? Kinda like reinventing the wheel back to stone.
