Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Complicated thinking: Why match cylinder porting and barrel length?

I understand now what it is your demonstrating, Max. I glazed over the part where you were actually “spitting” the bb down the barrel. So I guess 25% accuracy on lungpower isn’t too bad at all, unless you feel you’ve been inhaling to many metal shavings on a daily basis. I really shouldn’t try to comprehend things before my 10th coffee of the day.

My questions for you are:

If the volume of a barrel/silencer combination is matched to the volume of the cylinder, am I limited to always using the silencer? If for some reason I remove the silencer will the cylinder head slam into the bottom of the cylinder at a greater velocity from the lack of backpressure because the bb leaves the end of the barrel before the end of the cylinder head stroke? Will this cause damage? Is this at all a consideration?
