Without one, a compressed spring would simply drive everything back the way it came.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat counts most at the moment the gun stops mid-cycle. The latch holds the position rather than letting the spring unwind back through the gears and out through the motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA latch that has rounded off slips under load, and a slipping latch is how a gearbox comes apart in a hurry.
