If the protrusions slide the cocking rod back toward the hammers on closing, the cocking rods must push against the mainspring actuated assembly until fully cocked. It would seem that then , when the gun is cocked, it could be opened without any spring pressure on the rods, and thus, none on the Protrusions. But, when one or both barrels are fired, it would seem that the springs would then engage the rods somehow, and the rods would then put pressure on the protrusions so that the protrusions would press against the underside of the barrel flats, and act as opening assistance. Am I missing something ?
