  1. That's what happens when an inventor gets enamored of an idea. At a certain point, he realizes it's impractical in respect to other, established, solutions, but he wants to make it work.

  2. That's what happens when an inventor gets enamored of an idea. At a certain point, he realizes it's impractical in respect to other, established, solutions, but he wants to make it work. However, let's not exagerate. The functioning is complex, but the individual pieces are rather simple to make. For a comparison, the Zb. vz 26 / BREN was simple in its functioning, and had less moving pieces, but the bolt and carrier are the nightmare of a machinist. Fact is that too many moving pieces are a problem by itself, since it multiplies the things that can go wrong.

  5.  @gloptron4408  The interrupted thread screw is a pain in the ass to make, but for the rest, yeah, the pieces are of a quite simple shape. Unfortunately, so many moving parts are a defect by itself. Too many things that can go wrong.
