ok, i got bored and wondered how a closed bolt blowback would work. this is my half assed idea for the system that i probably wouldn't be able to do at all since it requires special milling, material adding to the inside of the body.
basically the center of the gun that normally would have a slot, would only have enough of a slot left for the bolt to open enough for a ball, with a light spring to push the bolt back closed, with a kind of sear on the bottom(with a groove for it to follow) the hammer would have a pin, and also a groove to follow. starting from the cocked position with the bolt closed, the hammer would go forward, past the bolt sear then firing, the hammer would then catch the sear with the pin and start going back into the cocked position. since the slot is only big enough for the bolt to go so far back, the sear would hit a kind of slope where the slot between the hammer and bolt and close, making the bolt go back into the closed position. the hammer continues to follow it's path back to the cocked position. here's my 100% not to scale little gif to kind of explain it

of course, i highly doubt it would work, i just thought more or less it would be kind of a neat thing to ponder
(i find my animation funny in that it appears to be shaking apart to peices
