I have written a guide on how to properly care for and clean our bucking, I noticed your cleaning section was a bit lackluster. 
Nice job though, mad props.

Lovely. I like the guide, major props. I disagree with the statement that our springs lose more power than an AEG spring, they go through 10k cycles in 3-4 days (or more) of airsofting, I have rifles that haven't seen 10k cycles yet. Even though it is left cocked for most of a game, an AEG spring is about the same, and our springs are stronger and beefier than theirs anyway.

Granted.
I have not had to change the springs on any but my very first rifles, so I really was not aware this was an issue...

I have not noticed the LRBs increasing fps, but we may be using different styles.

Well, that gain is not directly from the LRB, but from a lack of loss due to the hopup, though I think you may have said that...
Cranking the (regular) hop to get nice and flat at the same power level does cause jams, I've tried it. However, once you get above about 420 fps, the LRB effect still works, but the gains decrease until you hit about 650 fps. In fact, after about 800 fps, the LRB only helps if you are using steel bbs.
I knock down my power levels below 400 fps for a reason, it is my belief that the bb holds the most stable path when it is traveling a little slower. This has been proven again and again in my own testing, I can take very inaccurate rifles and just bump them down to 350 fps and they hit spot on. Basically, you're right. It only matters how you deliver that bb, not how hard it hits.

It does if it's done properly. Less energy is lost to vibrating the stock and more goes directly into the compression of the air in the cylinder. More compression equates to more energy transfer, which equates to a higher fps, QED.
Now, the difference will be so minute you won't likely notice it or measure it, but it is there.
