you can have alternating firing mechanisms, so that one fires while the other reloads. Also you could use a pulley system to shorten the time of retraction for your springs. If you've got any corrections plz feel free

Pneumatics won't fire at fast enough speeds. On paintball gunns the piston pulls back the bolt and pressurized gas shoots the ball.
The most important deisgn criteria is always performance in any of the parts / systems we design. But we do try to abide by the saying -- if it doesn't look good (right), it probably isn't good (right). - Adam Freeman [more]
