Proprietary - Parts that are specific to the gun, for example, TM recoil shock SCAR mags are proprietary meaning that no other mags will work
Linear - Oh come on
Non linear - Seriously? .-.

Proprietary = unique to that brand/model
Linear = straight line
Nonlinear = output not directionally proportional to input
So a proprietary part will only fit that gun
A linear aeg spring will require the same force to compress it throughout it's range, a non linear aeg spring will compress with less force to start with then the force will need to increase the further it is compressed. The benefit being that a motor will be able to spin up easily at the start of the cycle potentially reducing strain on parts, then once moving the load increases so pistons etc are possibly less likely to strip teeth etc

Ak47 I know what linear and non- linear are in terms of definition in the Oxford dictionary but in terms of airsoft applications (i apologise for not being clear and has been ammended in the opening question) but considering I'm still a newbie who started 4 months ago, my knowledge increases with every question I ask
Thankyou PT for answering, now I know what they mean which says I have non linear springs in all my rifles
My mates ICS M4 is proprietary where as my M4's and G36C are not, I was asked at a game if my G36 was proprietary and I didn't know but luckily there mags fitted mine

well I learned something about springs n stuff
many thanks for advanced open university course of airsoft enginneering
plus now got a posh term "proprietary" when I find some mofo TM compatible bits are not gonna go in
without a gentle adjustment using the trusted "hammer + file the f*cking thing" technique
(prefer the term: bastid cheap spare parts that don't fit in this pile of crap mofo crappy gun)
