Yeah, I realised that the finished product would have to be sealed quite tight so we don't go kablooey. I might have even tried to add that if it weren't for not wanting to spend literally a thousand hours in MSpaint.
As for getting a reliable strike every time, you're a 100% right. I guess I shouldn't have put it as "push, and push again" I should have just said "one solid push". I was also thinking, if the handle is moved forwards a tad bit, and made it where it could slide back and forwards, you could add some means of tension to it such as a band as I stated before, and have it connect to the rear of the firing mechanism. This would utilise the weapon's recoil, and maybe result in a more reliable strike?
Like you pointed out though, I'm no firearms guru, and I definitely have research to do. This was just a theoretical firing mechanism I came up with in the spur of the moment, and is far from refined or accurate in details. it would honestly be cheaper and easier to buy an AR, and build a bump frame for it
Anyways, thanks for the input.
