All that matters is that it is FORWARD when the PISTON is going FORWARD.
So STOP looking into your hopup chamber, the SKY is NOT FALLING.

Okay, so basically what you're saying is that the position of the nozzle as seen through the mag well is moot?
You mentioned previously that the "only reason [you] do the few semi auto shots is to take the stress off the piston teeth." Since the spring itself isn't really the *main* issue here anymore, I guess the question to ask is how do you know for sure when you've taken the stress off the piston teeth after the semi-auto shots to 'release' the spring (other than the obvious; taking out the gearbox, disassembling/looking through a window in the cylinder)?
