OH! i never knew that the yelow ones had more tension. although, the guns
design is just enough to withhold the gray shocks, if I put more tension,
the gun would not hold. I had to spend an extra half an hour re-configuring
the gray handgun to withhold the tension of only the gray absorber so
anymore tension would kill it. thanks for the compliments!
