Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - A Question for the Pros

Alright, here's my little deliema. I've been designing a custom marker, and I need to know something about the cylinder of a bolt action sniper rifle. I've been searching the Internet for the answer, with no prevail. I was hoping the professionals here might know.

How much of the cylinder's air is compressed when the piston slams forward? Or, how many centimeters of the cylinder is used to compress air?

Through various tests I have done with simple air compression, I have found that too little air can't push the BB to it's optimal velocity, and too much air slows down the spring. If the spring is a factor, it's a SystemA 400% PSG-1 spring.

Any help would be really appreciated.
