You can also interpret an over-volumed cylinder as a signal that you're wasting spring energy on slamming a piston into a cylinder head (edit: this previously read piston head). This may be acceptable if you're trying to avoid pre-engagement, but if you're not, and don't usually use heavy ammo, you may want to explore the possibility of downgrading your spring.

The other side of this is the realization that your spring is capable of more velocity at 0.2g, if only you had a longer barrel to give your BB extra time to accelerate.

In extreme cases, this situation can limit a very short barrelled gun's ability to gain velocity without resorting to tricks.
