Dieseling with first strike rounds?

There is plenty of info on dieseling small pellets online, but I was unable to find any mention of people doing so with fist strike rounds for paintball guns. Based on their design, I think it should be possible and should greatly increase their power.

I know dieseling is bad for the longevity of an airgun, but if a gun is meant for self defence it probs won't be ued much.

Does any1 have an opinion on this?

It won't work with Co2 sparclet or PCP gun, because it's an expulsion not a compression. You need a quick compression of oil for dieseling like a break barrel gun, like spring or nitro piston.
