  1. its where roller delayed is headed, neat, does what its supposed to do, but there's other simpler to manufacture ways to do it. only like H&K still keep up roller delay systems and they're moving away from that to traditional locking lugs

  2. no more so than any other self loading system baring a few odd ones, the action of a self loading firearm can be broken down into a couple of parts, the feed system, the locking system, and the firing system, and for the most part every category of those systems works with each other, like say a striker fired belt fed roller delayed gun, or a hammer fired magazine fed short recoil rifle the paterson rifle did have a problem with extraction, being a toggle delayed rifle, its cases needed to be specially coated in a wax lubricant to properly extract due to the higher pressures experienced

  3. no because the projectile has usually left or is about to leave the barrel by the time the recoil force overcomes the action. all systems try to unlock only after the pressure has dropped to a safe level; basically they're all using about the same amount of force imparted by the firing of the bullet and shouldn't be affecting the velocity of the bullet
