i know, i know, i knew i was probablly going to get alot of flak by posting this. and cockers are known for being closed bolt systems.
BUT
take into account the fact that a closed bolt has almost no effect on anything. accuracy, air effeciency, none of that really matters. cockers are closed bolt systems because, well... just because. it has no real strengths or weaknesses. of course i may be wrong about this, but i havent seen a huge difference.
and about the detents, i think the solution would be an adjustable detent. but if you have a tight paint to barrel match, you wouldnt have any more double feeds than you would if it was still operating in closed bolt.
yeah, its weird. its just an idea. there are probablly some cons to doing this. but try and think of the positive things, if there are any, maybe we will come up with something really good... and hey, a bad idea is still an idea. you know those post-it note things? real useful arent they? but the guy that came up with the idea was laughed at alot, and people were like "haha noob that will never work, its stupid and there is no point" and look where we are today. alot of other things probablly started out like this. computers, cell phones, mechanical pencils, i dont know... but its something to think about
