One thing to consider is the amount of travel the spring/piston has. If you move the spring guide forward (more tension, more power), the front of it will impact the piston, causing the teeth of the piston and/or gears to rip apart. Moving it back to a lower power setting wouldn't damage anything, but you'd need a special mechbox to be able to do that. Best case scenario would be similiar to what the CA/Star M249 has, a removable spring guide so you can swap springs in and out quickly, but as said above, it'd give assholes another means of plying their trade, swapping to heavier springs after chronying.
