I didn't want to hijack the thread I read this in so I'm reposting here. Paraphrased for clarity.

In your case, it would probably if/when you get a jam or stuck BB in the barrel/hop-up. The piston could not move forward fast enough because of the added air pressure.

I use a 11.1 LiPo in my CA P90 Proline shooting 340fps. Metal gears, full metal rack on piston. Is it a ticking time bomb? Would I be way better off going 9.6 NiMH?
