Liquid propellant is incompatible with cased ammunition. There are four parts to ammunition: projectile, case, propellant, and primer. A liquid propellant firearm measures out propellant from a tank instead of parcelling it with each round (eliminating the need for a case) and ignites the propellant (eliminating the need for a primer).

The ballistics of any TL8 round can be duplicated using liquid propellant.
