Title I semi-automatic firearms which operate from an open bolt aren't legal, period, under federal law, unless they were grandfathered in prior to the requirement that all semi-auto Title I firearms operate from a closed bolt.

No way. The MAC-10 isn't legal in California, period, unless you, as a California resident, owned it prior to the passage of California's so-called Assault Weapons Ban in 1989, and had it registered by 2000. Additionally, the only legal open bolt firearms are NFA tax-stamped Class III firearms, as federal law requires all Title I semi-auto firearms to operate from a closed bolt.

What is a closed bolt automatic weapon?

The bolt is in the closed (forward) position when the weapon fires, as opposed to an open bolt, in which the bolt is in the open (rearward) position when the weapon fires. Rifles are typically closed bolt weapons, whereas belt fed machine guns usually fire from the open bolt (one exception to this is the belt fed machine guns based on the HK91/93 platform, such as the HK11 and HK21).

What is abs dwell on paintball guns?

In high-end guns, and I am assuming you are referring to electronic guns, dwell generally refers to an electronic adjustment, that controls how long a solenoid is energized for. In many high end, electronic guns, the solenoid is itself a type of valve, and supplies air to a ram or bolt kit to cycle the marker. In the case of a ram or rammer operated marker, the ram will actuate a hammer that hits a valve and then holds it open. So as with your mechanical marker, the dwell time will have a direct effect on how long the valve stays open - the longer air is supplied to the ram, the longer it will push forwards and hold the valve open. In a spool valve marker, the ram and bolt are combined in to a single unit, and air from the solenoid pushes the bolt forwards, which in turn releases air to fire the ball. Assuming that the bolt can free flow, and isn't firing from a fixed volume of air (depends on the design of the spool valve) then the longer the bolt is in the forward position, the more air will be released.

What is the primary reason why machine guns are designed to fire from an open bolt?

Machineguns can get REALLY hot when firing. An open bolt system has two benefits- First, a loaded cartridge is not sitting in a hot chamber. Since a cartridge is chambered only immediately before it is fired, it is less likely to "cook off"- or be fired by the heat of the chamber. Second, the bolt being open when the gun is not firing permits a small degree of air circulation, which helps cooling just a bit.
