Is the Rampage spring the same weight as a Deploy? I don't know Flat. Most Nerf stock springs are between 2.5 and 3.0 Kg, depending on the vintage of the blaster. Obviously they've gotten a little stronger over the years. For example, I know the Retaliator stock spring is 2.5Kg and a StrongArm is 2.8Kg. Pretty pathetic, right, compared to the 6, 7, 8, and 10Kg aftermarket springs ?

But I don't about the Deploy. I only got back into Nerf in 2015, so I haven't had a lot of exposure to older N-Strike blaster, especially the yellow ones.

EDIT: BTW the "weight" of the spring is actually the force required to compress the spring, not the weight of the spring itself. A 6Kg spring takes 6 kilograms of weight pushing down on it to compress the spring to its maximum potential energy. Yeah, that's what I meant. Because in the mod page it said the spring was the same in the Rampage and the Deploy.
