I calculate what I need to get the BB to do what I want, then just build the gear train accordingly. Start with the BB, not the gearbox.
Alot of people throw alot of money into their gear when all they really need to do is study the science. It's just a tiny plastic BB..how much energy do you really need?
Oh yeah, gear grease on the gears (teflon) and synthetic on the o-rings. You can put grease on the head o-rings if you want. It swells them up nice and tight to the cylinder. But that also depends on the type of o-ring, but we'll leave that for later.
Just so you know, I had to put a 100 spring in my Combat Machine because it was firing 470 fps with a 120 (still using a 9.6V), and now it's a comfortable 390-ish. Physics, my man....it's all physics.

aah come on, physics is my enemy, im a carpenter haha ;D But shouldnt the fps of the bb only come down to barrel length, barrel inner diameter, cylinder volume, spring and compression? or am i missing something? :P
i have the right cylinder volume if what the dream army chart of their cylinders is true, 6.03 363mm barrel, 130m spring. maybe my compression is off, gonna test to mod the bucking to not loose anything there
im shooting .3 bbs now btw
