It literally held the spring cocked, even with the anti-reversal latch disengaged!

The only way to disengage the spring was to unscrew the pistol grip base at the end of each shooting session and literally let the motor "pop" off the gears, and thus, allowing the spring to release. Real PITA...

Who knows, maybe the 400% spring is strong enough to reverse the Magnum's drive shaft...
The thing i'm worried about is how long that box will hold up with that 400% spring. I know that mechbox is pretty hard to find. What do you think they FPS would be on the 400 ? Probably would need a 12v or would a Lipo battery be enuff ?
