No, I don't have the concern of my spring being partially compressed. If it compresses it a bit, I can't imagine it compressing it by more than half. You can hear how compressed it is. The shots usually alternate between full decompression and half-cocked. When either one fires, you can kind of hear how far back it wound from the momentum.
When I originally did this setup and chronied it, it hit an average of 315fps. That was 2 years ago (I think.) I just chronied it right now and it was shooting an average of 320fps with a high of 326. I can't explain the variance. It could be because I have a different chrony.
I will have another chrony in about 3 weeks that can also measure ROF. I can let you know what the ROF is at that time.
Yes, the main purpose of the double-torque up gears was to conserve battery power. Its secondary purpose was to slow down the ROF.

I was wanting to keep my ROF around 900 RPM because that is the RS P90 has, but I would rather have the reduced responce time.
I was thinking that since the spring is the major force opposing the the motor/gear set, that if I massivly increased the torque of the motor/gear set it would be nothing for the motor/gearset to pull back the piston, thus giving me my reduced responce time. Guess that would increase ROF since I now have a reduced time for the clynder cycle, and thus I can have more cycles per minute.
I tried :sad:
