is the proton a breech loader? Technically, I guess? It doesn't say it is on the article but I would classify it as one. Basically the slide at the back is pulled out, revealing a tray where you insert a disc. Returning the slide to the forward position chambers it and you fire.

So I guess it is kind of. It's a similar mechanism requiring similar actions so it should be.

Also keep in mind that the anatomy of a Vortex blaster is different than a dart blaster. I'm not sure if whatever that tray thing is called would be classified as a breech, but it technically is in my mind.
