I would be interested in seeing what effects the drag has on the efficiency of the Automag blow forward system where the valves dwell is controlled by the bolt return spring. Is more control bore length better for the Automag?
I think the concept is "better seal better efficiency". After reading nearly every post in the Deepblue forums it's my understanding the Automag's dwell is mostly dependent on back-pressure and is consistent because of it. A lousy ball seal equates to less back-pressure which equates to longer dwell and therefore less efficiency. No ball is the extreme case. I never liked the idea of using it in the Punkwork's tests because of that very reason.
