Your approach to the problem is very much like how an engineer would go about it, but you need to go further. Here is a question, you want to replace the motor and gears with a solenoid, why not replace it all with a solenoid? Instead of the spring use a solenoid to push the air.

List your design criteria and what exactly you hope to do and we can help you further.

because a solenoid doesn't have the power
a spring will decompress extremely quickly, and it doesn't care how long it took to compress it

if the solenoid doesn't have the power to shoot the bb then it doesn't have the power to compress the spring.

Work in equals work out.

I didn't say power equals work. Where the fuck did you get that from.

You starting to come across as a not so bright kid.

I'd say you made a mistake and now you're trying to cover it up.

Do you understand the difference between work and power?
What you said here:

is simply flatly false.
