Silly question

Why haven't they ever made a pump gun in which the trigger itself pulls the bolt back and releasing it brings the bolt forward to fire the gun? It would be a long trigger pull, but wouldn't it simplify things? Does such a marker exist?

sounds to me like you're explaining an autococker...

but then, im what many refer to as dumb, when it comes down to cockers.

Nonono the pump there'd be no pump the trigger would be the pull-mechanism

Ehh my idea is terrible there'd be too much stress injury stuff I think

sounded to me like you were talking about a gun that you just pumped it and it would shoot , i have a splat master rapid or what ever its called and i think thats like what your talking about now, its a really long trigger pull, the og splaty's were a pump kinda sorta push a button to cock it

you could do this

get a sniper with AT
strap down the trigger with rubber bands
use hitman mod only

sounds kinda like when you slam the lever forward really hard on a winchester rifle.

...or use an e grip, remove the trigger spring, and cock the gun

the splatmaster rapide. the first part of the trigger pull "pumps" the bolt, then the second part of the trigger pull fires the gun. they had very heavy trigger springing, so the pull was quite hard. not really a pump, but more of a double action

old school.

and to the OP that would not be a pump, it would be an archaic (SP?) semi.

so the reason no one has made a pump without a pump handle that shoot on every trigger pull is the same reason no one has bred a dog that has tusks, 2 large ears, is nearly hairless and grey, and weighs in at around 2 tons.

I have one of those Rapides, sitting about. It's virtually the same thing as semi-auto, and was sold as a semi-auto pistol.

yeah, mines one of the limited clear ones. kinda cool, but not very practical. and it is basicly a semi, just double action
