Laylax Prometheus Cylinder

You should choose your cylinder based on the length of your inner barrel. The Prometheus cylinders are categorized by type (A through F) to match specific barrel length ranges, ensuring your air volume is perfectly balanced for consistent compression.

If your cylinder volume doesn't match your barrel length, you will experience inconsistent muzzle velocity and poor accuracy. A cylinder that is too small won't provide enough air to push the BB through the full length of the barrel, while one that is too large can create turbulence as the BB exits.

These cylinders are designed for standard AEG gearboxes. However, you should always verify that your specific gearbox shell is compatible with standard cylinder dimensions before purchasing.

Like any internal gearbox component, it should be kept clean and lightly lubricated with a high-quality silicone oil or grease. This minimizes friction between the piston head and the cylinder wall, which helps maintain a smooth cycle and extends the life of your seals.

Yes, the Prometheus cylinder is built for durability and is an excellent choice for high-performance builds. Its precision engineering helps manage the increased stress of high-cycle rates and stronger springs, provided the rest of your compression system is properly tuned.
