If the AR is open whenever a dart is in there, what difference does it make by forcing it to stay open? To my understanding, whenever I shoot a dart the AR is open because of the gate. Yeah, but the dart doesn't teleport out when the plunger head hits the end of the plunger tube. The dart leaves when the air pressure in the plunger tube exceeds the friction holding the dart in place. At which point the AR closes, causing back pressure that reduces the impact of the plunger head when it hits the end of the plunger tube.

It all happens faster than you can SEE it, but it's not "instantaneous".
