full auto bolt idea

This could work for bigger ammo like marbles.
The idea is to take a T with reducers on opposite end and put pipesections in there in wich yet a thinner pipe fits that can slide through easily.Make the pipe fixed in the reducer stick out on the inside of the T and provide seal to the inner moving pipe with a section of rubber tubing.
The inner pipe is the bolt/piston.It has an airhole outside of the pressurised T.It's pushed forward by a spring, but when not firing must fall into a catch, like on a crossbow.( not included in the picture)When the catch is released, the bolt moves forward and the opening is pushed into the pressurised T.The marble is loaded in this same action.When the bolt is pressurised the marble shoots out, the thickening of the bolt you see in the magazine T will act as a piston and together with the recoil begin pushing back the bolt all the way.As long as the catch stays released the cycle will repeat.Might take you some time to understand all this but I know it will work...Very little waste of air.
