Yeah, I've been thinking about this too, and I have an idea. Basically, have a wide mouthed barrel, and a very wide air nozzle. Then have this barrel taper down to a 6.01/6.03/whatever. This would get the air out of the cylinder, and into the barrel quicker. Even though the barrel does taper down, it would still push more air out of the cylinder faster, because usually the nozzles are somewhere around 4-5mm instead of the full 6mm. If you need it, I could draw something up.

Seems really confusing, 
It would be really hard to get the bb to stay in place on the cylinder head, and might fall, making a huge jam. You would get good compression though. But you still have the problem of a light force of air, then a heavyier force after, from the piston gaining momentum from the spring. But with a gas rifle, it could work

We pretty much already knew this though, but it's good to reinforce it. A thought I have it a possible "form fitting barrel extender, which really gives a TIGHT seal around the bb, AND the air nozzle, giving the air one place to go, which is build up pressure on the bb, and shoot it out through the barrel. This would really hug the bb very tight, giving zero variance between the wall of the "barrel extender" and the bb. I think this would be easy to make too. Could this Classic Airsoft contraption "cart" be the answer to get the bb in place?
Yeah, I will for sure. I'm going to bed now, but if it's not here in a day, remind me. I think this might actually go somewhere, because it's simple, but feasible.
EDIT: Oh, and Beck, I'm thinking an inside dimension of 5.5-5.75mm, so it really squeezes the bb, letting pressure build up. Thick, but flexible, so the bb can be shot through, but doesn't rip.
