Sorry for the poor explanation.

You took the words right out of my mouth in what the nature of the things are.

I was experimenting with a theory that my friends proposed to me in that the hypothesis was to keep the valve open long enough so that there will be reduced pressure once the floating valve closes. The hypothesis is that, relative to how long the blowoff valve stays open vs how much air is being funnelled towards the bb, if we keep the floating valve opened long enough and somehow direct the majority of the expelled air towards the bb (ie. stronger valve springs to resist the negative pressure and wider legs to lessen the impedence of in the air's path, we can take away a fraction of the amount of gas used to create the cycle therefore lessening the pressure inside the loading muzzle once the floating valve is closed and prolonging the life of the loading muzzle (...by like... a day).

It's all relative to how long the blowoff valve stays open open though and how effective the knocker strike is. But I've since discarded this experiment as the amount of gas expelled from the blowoff valve is constant and not varying in pressure with each strike(unless the magazine begins to run out of gas). Plus the valves closes at the same times no matter how much air is being funnelled towards the bb.

I hope that it somehow makes sense (i hope the logic behind it makes sense). I have trouble explaining things clearly. lol.

I had hoped that it would have helped prolong the over all lifespan of the loading muzzle but it didn't. I went through 5 guarder and stock nozzles before I discarded the experiment inconclusive.

But I wanted to get your opinion on the matter.
