Pathos and Imersion guns have this. It is just a different arrangement inside the trigger mechanism so that the sear is behind the actual trigger instead of in front of it. 7cm is more accurate than 10cm.

I'm sure there are answers & ways to eleviate the problems -- but what is the gain to justify it?
Enclosed tracks are awesome, give it a few years and there will be a few euros with them instead of just the likes of Trygons. If you shaft is straight enough to be used normally then there will be no problems, friction is eliminated by water cushioning. The huge advantage is that because most of the shaft whip is eliminated you can use much thinner shafts or crank up the power without worrying about loss of accuracy.

Good idea
