Helical gears = quieter and slightly more torque
Carbon fibre sector gear = less mass on the sector gear, less extra inertia after each cycle, etc. and probably quieter as well. The whole design seems to also try to address piston wear too.
I think it will work well with m170. Too bad nobody is will to play at those speeds (with adequate protection) unless you are in Russia or the Phillipines.
The point of carbon fibre reinforced gears has nothing to do with how heavy your gun is. It has to do with reducing the mass of the gears while retaining strength. This has to do with how efficient the mechbox cycles, your trigger response, and reducing the extra wear and tear that comes from the remaining unnecessary momentum of heavy gears spinning on each cycle being braked suddenly (often the cause of gear teeth damage).
