AHQ: Are RCL pistols practical?

I'm thinking, here, of a weapon using standard brass cases (possibly caseless), without the RCL arty "backblast". Instead, I'm wondering if some kind of chip-controlled "soft recoil" could be successfully employed.

Is this something only SHIELD* ( :openedeyewink: ) can ever actually use?
 
Well, perhaps you could update the gyrojet - better/smaller solid state igniters and other technical improvements.

I wanted to be able to use standard ammo. AIUI, the Gyrojet couldn't (& would never) achieve the high acceleration a pistol round wants, so its accuracy was junk at much beyond arm's length.
