The anti-reversal latch is a gearbox component that stops the gears from moving on the wrong side after a shot is fired. The anti-reversal latch interacts with the bevel gear, which is equipped with several direction teeth that serve as built-in brakes. These allow the gear to freely move in one direction, but if the gear is reversed for any cause, the anti reversal latch spring prevents the gear from moving in the other direction. The constant force that pushes the piston forward is the spring, and the spur gear that drives the piston also maintains it in place with the help of the anti-reversal lock that prevents the bevel gear from turning. Without it, the piston heads will always be halted in the forward position when they shouldn't be. Though the piston moving forward every time you let off of the trigger isn't intrinsically bad, the piston's timing in relation to everything else is important for accurate feeding and shooting. For how long can an anti reversal latch l...
