Further, open bolt sub guns use advanced primer ignition to keep bolt weight down. When a sub gun is changed to a closed bolt blowback design, either the bolt has to be made more massive or the spring made a lot heavier. Since most closed bolt guns are built on sub gun receivers, increase of bolt mass may not be practical, and the extra spring tension makes initial operation more difficult.
