Titanium and/or wave springs

Has anyone ever used either of these kinds of springs in a springer?

It would seem that TI springs would have greatly reduced mass and therefore inertia.  It could make the gun recoil less via reduced sprung weight.  Spring common in motorcycle forks seem a lot like the power spring in a springer.

Wave springs seem even better as they don't uncoil so there's be no torque, no twisting motion for greatly reduced twang.  I take it these can also be had it TI. Ti is a great spring material.  It can be stressed for many, many cycles, even more than the best steels and retain the original design spec.

because of the reduced operating height it would seem that you could either have a shorter faster stroke, reducing lock time or a longer power stroke for more power.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I think it would be impossibe to stack up enough of them to make a spring that would work.
These springs are made for tight places that have no room for a coil spring. It works great for the side washers on the gamo breaks barrels, this is what they use is a flat spring to remove the slack and increase the barrel tension.
A 10.5 inch stack of wavy springs would be a real trick to make a guide to keep them aligned.

Scary stuff for me , pulling the action apart and seeing that hmmm can of worm's. Ed
