    Rotary valve - Increase efficiency?

    Quick question, not sure if it's deep blue worthy..

    Take the valve on an autococker (and many other guns). It has a hammer that hits the valve, the valve opens, and is returned by a spring.

    What about a rotary valve? One that rotates and there are small holes so as it rotates, a hole will line up for a "shot", then it will be closed again. Would you be able to gain any noticeable efficiency that way?

    I was looking at my retractable pen, and when you click down, it rotates the inner part. That could be a way for the sear to trip the valve for each shot. I was just thinking that the spring idea probably has some efficiency issues, but if a valve is opened and close for a set time by a rotating disc with holes in it, would't that be more efficient?

    I am not familiar with many new electros, and I'm sure the new electros probably don't use the hammer/spring method for valves. Just curious if this would possibly work as an aftermarket cocker valve, even if it would require a different trigger sear assembly.
