I think the old belts would be a problem; they had to be designed so the plunger could seal against the back side of it to fire.

I think starting over with a belt design where the pusher could be "sliding" sideways to move the belt WHILE it was pushing darts forward could be useful. Think about a "series" of pusher arms tractoring the belt through, allowing for an insane ROF (as long as the flywheels could keep up!)

(i.e. an alternative to the traditional thinking of "move the belt, stop the belt, push the dart" sequence)
