So let's say you ARE going to run it at a peak of 25v
Assuming the electronics are custom built to handle that and you're using a brushless motor
No idea what gear ratio you had in mind, but let's assume standard ratio
You'd probably need either a very long soft start on the motor to ramp up to max RPM, or you'd have to actually run herringbone gears with larger teeth for the amount of torque involved lol
The pinion gear would also need a redesign for extra torque transmission.

You'd absolutely need to use a systema revolution/PTW style piston head and air nozzle since a tappet plate would never be able to keep up with the sector gear at that speed.
You'd probably need a revolutionary light-weight swiss cheesed carbon fiber piston with a titanium rack and seriously reinforced first tooth both on the sector and piston. In fact at that speed you might even need a pre-engagement bumper to help soften the blow.

Basically your major weak points would be the springs, piston rack, and the mags being able to load BBs fast enough.

Forget about using a DC brush motor though, it's hard enough on them being run at 12.6v, anything past 14v is the danger zone. Like kos-mos said, they were originally designed with 8v in mind.
