From Reloading point of view, you can technically use less powder
or using differnt rate of burning powder or use differnt bullet
weight to achive lower velocity!.... and with reduced velocity, you
will need to retime your gun totally , like you said! springs, and
all that.... Yes it is possible ..... but you will have to in some
times totally redo the gun timming issue which at sometime is more
difficult to achieve .
SOmtimes it is physically impossible becasue of the design of the
gun! Battle rifle like the FAL,, G3, M14 all have pretty hefty bolt
and carrier! so by reducing the load may not have sufficient power
to make the cycle of the rifle consistant and reliable ! EVen with
the reduced spring! you can only tune it down this much! also! in
full auto fire, you need the necessary power to have consistant
Extraction!
IN theory! I would say it can be done!
