The down side is you would add the necessity to time it and increase the chance of leaks and failure.
I've already toyed with it. The better idea is to use a Mag style valve on a Cocker. An RT Classic valve will fit in a drilled Cocker lower tube. Then you get zero moving parts during the firing cycle(minus the vertical on/off pin movement that has no weight transfer). This would make for the smoothest shooting, most accurate marker possible due to no "kick" while the ball is in the gun. If timed well you could have the re-cocking happen after the ball has left the barrel.
