The gears will be fine. It won't shred, they're extremely tough.

However, you'll suffer from decreased motor life and battery life. Both of which, are intertwined. The motor requires more current to crank the spring since the gears aren't taking up the required at that velocity. So on each shot, your motor will draw more battery power. Simple as that. On top of that, you'll get added motor wear.

There will also be added stress between the pinion gear & bevel gear as well as between the bevel gear and spur gear.
