Well, the less material there is, the lighter it is, and thus, less energy is required to get it moving to speed. Just think about how shooting 0.20g BBs always yields a higher FPS than a 0.30g BB. Same idea.

The build was just an experiment to see how far I could take it while keeping it within reason.

See details on that slide set here:

Experiments have already been done on complete nutbar ultra slight moving assemblies:











So basically, all of the bare essential components required for cycling have been separated from everything else. You can't get any lighter or faster than this.
