is there anything wrong with a blowback?

[mavsfan31]

One of the main problems is that they have a ton of kick.

Blowbacks are called blowbacks because when the sear releases the hammer (striker), a spring drives the hammer and the hammer strikes the valve. Most of the expanding gas goes to propel the paintball out of the barrel. The rest of the gas blows the hammer back until the sear catches it, so the gas "blows back" the hammer. Bingo, yahtzee.
