I wonder how difficult it would be to incorporate both of these together in Nerf's mag-fed dart blasters... Yes, this was exactly what I was thinking. But it's a little complicated for Hasbro to make. Some modders have made an MP5-style handle on their Retaliators where the priming handle easily returns with a return spring, but when you want to remove a mag, you can pull the bolt back and flip it up, causing it to lock in place. Then after you replace the mag you can bring it back down and it will return home. Definitely some creativity there.

EDIT: Ah yes, here it is.
