Apparently I don't understand how flywheels work. A while ago I disected an old Stampede, and it had a funky system where motors pulled back an air-plunger and compressed a spring. I assumed that was how 'flywheel' blasters worked. The wiki page on flywheels is sort of mystically vague... do they directly accelerate the dart (!) or what?

Also don't diss me, electronic blasters can be hard to come by where I'm at!
