As for suction try pulling the shaft out by hand with your gun submerged or just pumping the shaft back and forth in the gun and you will find out if suction is a factor.
Yea..or another test would be to pull back a "slurp gun" you know, the "gun" used to collect tropical fish..yup, pull it back at 10fsw and then again at 110fsw and notice the difference..everyone knowledgeable about how tanks are hydro'd knows how much water compresses ..

Does it feel different at 10 ft versus 110 ft ??? If so why?

Much larger cross-section in a slurp gun, so not really a comparison. Force equals pressure times cross-sectional area.
