At 13:1 you keep most of the speed advantage of a shorter set while giving the motor a slightly easier time of it.
That trade is the reason this ratio is a common landing point for people who tried 12:1, found it hard on the parts around it, and wanted something they could run every weekend.
It still expects a sensible motor and battery. Gear ratio alone does not decide how a gun behaves.

Frequently asked questions
How does this compare with a 12:1 set?
Slightly longer, so a little less rate of fire for a little less load on the motor and contacts. Most people find it the more liveable of the two.
Can I reuse my existing shims?
No. Shim thickness is specific to the gears fitted, so plan on shimming the box from scratch whenever you change a set.
What motor suits this ratio?
Something with reasonable speed rather than pure torque. The exact choice depends on your spring weight and battery.
