Because then the entire round would have to pop up, then slide all the way forward towards the chamber and up again. The space in the gun behind where the bolt is visible is where all the internal pieces go when the bolt is thrown back. In a conventional handgun, the hammer, pin, etc. (depending on what you look at) is not in the way because the slide moves back. This is like securing the bolt in a vise and moving the gun to extract / chamber a new round.
In order to put the magazine in the grip, you would have all that stuff behind where the magazine is still there. Best way to explain this would be to take a pistol, hold the slide back and (pretend to) shoot it that way. Too much stuff in the way behind your hand, right?
There is no doubt that this can be improved though; make it more compact and ergonomic and you could have an idea there.
A thought though... the TEC-9 is still blowback-powered, isn't it? I'm wondering why there are no gas-powered pistols.
I just think that the gas powered systems for a small pistol would be over elaborate. In other words, too bulky or complex to make disassembling, repair or even cleaning easy.
Unless you really want a massive ******** handgun that couldn't possibly be wielded with two hands on the grip.

I don't know that a pistol that big is possible. wink
Yeah, you need like, two and a half hands.
Also, wasn't that the single shot .50 BMG?
You know, it looks like a really long Halo pistol.
