Has A Cartridge Ever Been Tried?

I'm not getting what you mean by "Off the shelf".
If you bought the carts for the Inovairtech? I'd call those off the shelf.

I mean pre packaged, precharged cartridges. Not necessarily relocated bottles that one has to mate to a projectile to make into a cartridge. Basically just like a firearm cartridge, only with compressed gas.

Hmmm... Do those loads arrive "plug, and play"? Or do you have to charge them, and load a projectile into them?

The air cartridge system – 10 years on - Airgun Magazine
This year is the 10th anniversary of the loss of one of the most innovative airgun design concepts. Allan Crookston takes a look back at the air cartridge system that became the hallmark of British gunmaker, Brocock… and recalls his favourite handgun of theirs, the Specialist

Don't overlook the Daisy VL that was an under lever airgun in .22 until the Alphabet org stepped in

It was only classified as a firearm by Alphabet org long after it was released and marketed as an airgun by Daisy

Daisy VL... is a Caseless .22..Way ahead of it's time....
It used the heat of compressing air...like in like in a break barrel spring airgun.
I actually used an Under Cocking lever...

Mrodair had a cool rolling block that fired air cartridges similar to a Brocock on the website. I don't remember the name. Was big bore.

My buddy and I had VLs, we purchased thinking they were underlever springers. They shot “caseless” .22 ammo, they were not airguns… The first time we tried to send pellets? They just blooped out of the muzzle. We killed many squirrels with ours, I sold mine before I ran out of the hard to find and fragile, caseless ammo.

So... I'm guessing that despite steps toward this end... No one has successfully developed a plug, and play self contained airgun cartridge. Is that correct?

So true. Still have 3 VL's in there original boxes but there's no market because of the lack of ammo. They are useless without ammo unlike the HW 35 Barracuda that when ether ampules disappeared they could still be used as a springer

Well... I looked at the examples shown in this thread, and with that... I'm somewhat disenfranchised. It still seems that the end user had to charge the cylinder and add the projectile. Very different from my OP question...

DevilsLuck, you're right that no "pre-charged as purchased" air cartridge has been offered with possible exception of some versions of the "AirMunition' system mentioned above. If what you had in mind was a one-use disposable cartridge, cost would likely be extremely prohibitive and the risk of leakdown after prolonged storage could be an issue.
In addition to the Saxby-Palmer and Brocock stuff, there were some Korean guns with DIY cartridges - one was the VanStar from the 90's as I recall.
