If you read my original post, I did say it was not the problem he was trying to fix.
But, I did some tests 2 or 3 years ago with my TM 1911a1 with different BB weights, you do get fewer shots with 0.30g BBs, my shot count went from around 30 to around 25. This was back when the only upgrades I put in were a Tanio Koba Twist barrel and a Firefly extra soft bucking.
It might be due to the way the twist barrel works, but I think the low gas capacity of the mags is to blame. The heavier BBs spend more time in the barrel, keeping the floating valve open slightly longer. You would never notice the decrease on a larger magazine like a Hi-Capa mag, but on the TM 1911 the difference is there.
