Hopefully everyone knows to release the string at the end of a launch right? Because if you dont, that is the fastest way to break a spring.
I think where a lot of people mess up (myself included) is pulling the string/ ripcord out at an angle, especially at high speeds. I'm almost positive this is why my Lucifer launcher is struggling. The plastic that holds the gold ring in place has broken, and now, the string rarely comes in or out straight, which is causing it to fray and get stuck in the gears inside sometimes. So I'm trying to pull the string as straight as possible with my DB launcher to prevent that from happening again.
With that said, I was really hard on my MFB launchers and the only issue I ever had was the handles breaking, and launcher rubbers solved that problem.
