I should add, try to make better use of the torque available, instead of reducing the torque required
You don't actually need an 11.1v lipo to run at 1200-1500rpm, or 30,000 rpm motors
Some people have gotten to 25rps using a 7.4v lipo and high speed gears

PTW's generally get 1BB/mah or better efficiency doing semi only at 420fps. They really take advantage of the motor's torque using the M130 cylinder.

It would be a good idea to get a map of people's battery efficiency so you can see if you're really making an improvement.
I guess the best way to do it would be comparing guns and setups using semi-only, and compare active braking vs non-active braking
Using full auto would be unfair since it's naturally more efficient.

I don't recall the exact number, but I recall being frustrated changing batteries on my old M4 AEG lol
tuned up G&P M140, triggermaster w active braking on, 380fps, heavy prometheus double torque gears, 380fps, bearings, 7.4v 1600mah lipo, running around 900rpm, I think it was around 1.5BB/mah
Would have benefited from using standard ratio gears I think. Was running a 9.6 mini before that's why it had the double torques.
