Originally the 100 ebr was designed by FX and AOA. If you read the rules you'll notice they are what they are to give FX guns an advantage over other guns.
Back then their ST barrel barely spun the pellets which are rear stabilized anyway unlike slugs which need more spin so no slugs.
Even FX admits that a faster twist rate in barrels (like LW) have a slight advantage up to 50 yards because they stabilize quicker but can become over stabilized as the pellet slows down so the longer the range the greater the FX advantage.
Also they banned tethering because FX had the largest air cylinders at the time. Then they added that the air cylinders couldn't exceed 580cc. What a coincidence that's what FX uses and they didn't want anyone to have a larger one.
