would it be possible to make a pnumatic bolt like an E-bolt but instead of being electronic its all pnumatics and mech?

I was thinking last night if you could somehow make something where you have a small valve system where the R/T normally goes. and the air is connected to it by a hose much like the R/T line. but the thing is when you pull the trigger. it opens the valve for the pnumatic bolt that goes forward. and then when it hits the main valve pin is pushed back like a normal rear bolt, the mini valve is re-engaged by air coming through the R/T like line. so that at that point the piston is re-set, the valve for it is ready, so then you can fire again so you just pull the trigger again and the cycle happens again.

yeah I know I am crazy and I have no clue what I am talking about probably. I have no clue how the R/T line works. does it go in bursts from when the valve pin is pushed? or is it constant air through it? if ite the first I think this idea might stand a chance. but then again would you be able to build up enough pressure through the R/t line to be able to effectivly launch a pnumatic piston.

I think Enos was working on a system like that for the procarb. Called the Overdrive system. I dont think he could ever get it to work right? I cant remember.

pretty much like a Nova 700?  a pneumatic trigger?  if there was a how-to on how to do it, i would definately do it to my 98c.  Nova'd 98c>all.

my guess it could work but only on semi. how could you control the ROF using just air. thats where the board comes into play.

Nova 700?? never heard of that....is that some old gun that never made it?
