+1.

Think I posted this already, but I tried a full cylinder in my MP5 (229mm barrel, ported cylinder) few years, and where my gun was shooting 365fps at the time, I chronied it after and it sat at 330fps. Not matching the cylinder with the barrel length will cause problems, even when going to a shorter barrel than normal.
