Okay, where to start?
The piston might slow down the hammer action, but the system needs a separate lpr supply or the air from the valve release will enter the piston, start charging it, and the air from the vale would vent totally down the barrel, hence venting the piston, unless you use a check valve.
I am not to sure about thoughts on the 3-way valve for the 'Cocker. I looks like it could breed some serious binding problems in from not being unbalanced (yup, unbalanced) enough to run the way you want it to. Also, what is the deal with the bolt/push action? Unless you use a bolt design like the one I showed you, the bolt closing before the air gets outta the valve is NOT going to work. Thats why you don't see any designs like that. The design is then blowforwad, and blow forward is BOLT only. Now look at the ATS and Vector designs, using 4-ways connected to a ram, activated by the hammer. That gives you the action for full auto, plus the light connections between bolt and hammer. The Sterling Pump is a good staring point for a couple of your ideas. It has a great hammer action, and the bolt can be separate or connected for testing. Dam good gun also. I need to get me one.
Pass on more.
Look into the Sov's bolt, and the Shockers. I think a good burst of air a similiar system would get it going well. Look good and hard at areas that have pressure on them In a bolt, look at the surface area, and mutiply it my the pressure used. Look a bit into fluid/volume/pressure ratios, and realize, the what numbers you are looking for dealing with the pressure/velocity have to include volume, so you would be looking for Energy used in a system and NOT just pressure.
I will go off on this later
