So your gun would be half as powerful (and the gun would surely be prone to internal breakage and failure).
again, that being said... if such a device does exist, i do not know about it, and i doubt it's available from crosman in an all-plastic piece.

I too was thinking about this. But then I realized, that to cock the weapon the first time would require 5 joules of energy to fire five shots at 1 joule, PLUS the energy required to cock the weapon... Which requires a minimum of 5 joules for the five shots, plus the amount to cock the weapon.
It's an impossible equation unless you implement a VERY complex switching setup so the weapon knows when you cock it versus when it's being shot and reacting from it's own blowback.
Do you know how hard it would be to pull back a 5 joule topslide?
