Can i use a high speed motor and/or gears?
What would you guys suggest?

Note i don't know if it matters but the m4 has a 9.6 3500 mah battery, will have a tight bore barrel... probably 6.03 and a mosfet (don't know which one yet hopefully something with a burst function) Any ideas what I should do here?

The gun is just a regular short (10.5" CASV) M4, not a sniper not a DM rifle and not an attempt to replace a saw.

Thanks dudes
Prometheus Double-Torque up gears or Systema Torque Up gears will do just fine. The battery you're using combined with torque up gears and a stock Tokyo Marui EG1000 motor will give you FPS higher than a stock gun using a manufacturer-recommended battery (8.4v 1300mAh sub-C pack or 600mA mini pack, the former giving the higher ROF of the two.)

Although you *could* run high speed motors and/or gear sets with a spring that heavy, I don't recommend it. You will introduce a shortened lifespan of your motor, battery, and essentially all areas of your electrical circuit due to the increased current draw.

Regarding the sealed chamber issue, you won't notice much of a difference at all in the sub-460fps areas... you won't notice any benefits unless you're used to poorly set up Armalite hop up units or you're shooting 500fps.

Consider my frame of reference: I can squeeze the same FPS out of a Pro-Win that I can with a standard gearbox setup (~425fps with an M120S spring and 509mm inner barrel) whereas other setups can only get 360fps with the same spring and inner barrel. Swapping the exact same components over to the Pro-Win won't solve the velocity issues by much. It depends a lot on a lot of the other components you use, including your hop up chamber, rubber, cylinder, air seal nozzle, piston head and even the greases you use, how much of it you use and even if you've properly applied the grease to the right areas. Even breaking in the piston head o-ring has an effect on performance.
