Shock absorber delayed blowback?

Alright, hear me out.

I was messing around with a tiny shock absorber I got off ebay when I had a thought, would it be possible to use a shock absorber as a delay mechanism in a gun?

My thinking is as follows, the shock absorber will absorb the initial spike in pressure until the chamber pressure decreases, so when the round is fired the shock absorber will barely move, but once pressure starts decreasing it'll be able to accelerate and cycle the guns action.

Obviously this isn't something I'd ever attempt with high pressure cartridges, but for something like 9mm or 12 gauge maybe it would work?
