While it does work to use a cylinder which provides too much volume, the spring hasn't reached optimal expansion speed by the time the bb has left the gun on such a short barrel. So the half ported cylinder allows the spring to reach maximum velocity before pressure is exerted on the cylinder, providing the best velocities for your bb.
