Re: spring steel

I would imagine that shaft whip would be much less of a factor in a pneumatic because the spear is loaded down a barrel...therefore it has nowhere to go but straight when the gun is fired. Also, since the power in a pneumatic is directly behind the spear and pushes it rather than pulls it, rather than a band gun where the power is forward and often times down, I'm guessing a pneumatic gun would not have the shaft whip problem. Now loading the speak...that may get tricky if it's really springy...although I've never loaded a pneumatic so I can't spear authoritatively on that.
