The ram is pushed by a spring which is connected to the bolt by a rod, the reason for the huge chunk of metal is it needed to pop the valve open which had about 800 PSI behind it plus move the bolt and paint.
Now that we know you don't need so much pressure since more air at a smaller pressure is adequate and much more efficient.
the design is almost 20 years old so it's to be expected compared to the much newer designs used by companies such as Planet Eclipse or DYE.
So in all honesty it will probably be much smaller with less kick as it takes much less air and pressure to move a BB than a paintball.

What they need is a micro air reg to bring the operating pressure down to under 200psi which is more than enough to push out a 6mm bb.
