guns that eject spent cartridges: possible?

Even under chemical propellent a Bullet in space would have a incredible speed. The only reason rifles on a planet dont fire at faster speeds is friction, a bullet can only go so fast and the instant it starts travelling are friction begins slowing it down almost as quickly as it accelerates, in space there is no friction so a bullet can reach incredible speeds quickly, plus they just keep accelerating with no force to slow them down.

Id love to have a gatling cannon in FL, use stunpulses to drop shields then a slugcannon to tear a ship to shreds in seconds

If i remember correctly... Wing Comander 3 or 4 had a gattling gun like projectile weapon... it had poor range and fared poor vs shields but was devastating once the shields where down....
