Well if I added a CO2 tank it would do the same thing...

I see only one chamber and one moded sprinkler valve for dumping air, thier is only one shot unless you have a second tank with a valve to refill the chamber between shots, or a regulated air source (CO2 or compressor tank)
also what did I say about a barrel sleeve

The second design is made so that the loading system attaches to the barrel itself. Where would the air go? Once the bolt is pulled and locked into place, it cant push the bolt back.

I know your design attaches to your barrel, and I know the bolt locks, but come on,
a sleeve usally dons't even need to lock, just cut a slot for loading then slide on the sleeve, and thats it. or make a piston bolt for the inside of the barrel, what you got now dosen't look promisng
