When the barrel is closed the gun autonomically fills the air chamber. It couldn’t be easier or more simple. Why aren’t these types of air guns used or even mentioned? Since the contributors to this thread seem very knowledgeable, I’m sure there is a good reason I’m missing. Is it because the PSI in the air chamber can’t be regulated with this type of system ?
