Is the No-Spark resistor safe to use on the Mamba XL2? Reason I ask is because obvoiusly there is no switch...and the large spark you get plugging in the bullets damages them over time. And the large spark form the caps charging is quite un-nerving! I prefer the nice quiet No Spark resistor vs the large "CRACK" I get without using it. But if it is damaging my XL2, I will quit using it. The longest I leave the no-spark resistor plugged in before pluggin in the power wire is probably 1 second. I plug the power wire in right away. Let me know. Thanks Patrick. -Kirk
