JSR is convinced that vortex/cloud/any other configuration does not affect performance in terms of velocity, though it might have some effect on rate of fire and certainly can help with reliability.

If you want your BBs to hit harder though, the important parameters are outlined in this thread.

for semi-uto, blow forvard is simple/effectice/easy to build. for full auto and high rate of fire vortex is good because of the simplisity of the desing.

hope this helps...

And the diameter of the vortex, what's the best size? By my test a 3/4 Diameter vortex works better than a 1" size diameter one, but i have seen bigger vortex blocks that works great
