Anyone out there able to adequately explain how this experimental technology works? Does it look very promising and will it scale well?

A new type of gun that opens its breach after the projectile leaves the muzzle. The remaining gas in the chamber will blow out of the breach in high velocity that is faster than the speed of sound. The escaping gas then is collected through a nozzle to further increase the velocity of supersonic flow so that to push the gun forward and compensate the recoil generated by the projectile.

Thus its about less recoil, faster recovery and thus faster firing rate?
