It pertains to WE only they have their newer open bolt design which works similar to any other GBB, fires from the closed bolt but it's open when you rack the bolt back. WE's older design was the CLOSED bolt system which used a brass tube so when you locked the bolt back all you could see was this hideous brass tube where there should be nothing, Was a Great design, just wasn't aesthetically pleasing which is a BIG selling point in airsoft.

Open bolt term in airsoft is chinglish
They used a literal translation, the correct translation is open-chamber (which is what being labelled on the box now)

IIRC Closed chamber was design so the WE gets pass through US customs?

G&P and KA GBBRS are passes US borders without prob.
WE modelled itself after the Escort system, just made it gas in mag. (from what I've heard)

No, Close chamber aka AWSS is a design adapted from AFC which is employ is numerous blow-back classic airsoft gun (sun project, shoei, Daytonagun, escort etc)
US custom actually seized AWSS m4 shipment that made ATF realized they made a fool of themselves 3 months later.

Seeing as you can NOT import WE AWSS into the USA.....
