See, Pedroh explained it better than I probably would have.

On some blasters, such as the Flipbow, there's teeth that surround the trigger guard, which turn more gears inside the blaster when you "flip" the handle up and down, which primes the blaster.

Is this design practical? Actually, it might be. It mimicks the motion of a "lever-action" blaster, but the priming mech looks to be more rigid and less flimsy than a SlingFire, as much as I like traditional lever action blasters.
