For people who don't understand this: A pneumatic cylinder will normally start moving as soon as air starts to flow into it, If you lock a pneumatic cylinder in a slightly extended position and allow it to reach working psi, it will throw with a lot more force than just turning on air to it and having it extend slowly as air flows into it.

This is correct. The physics don't allow my 60psi working air pressure to magically become higher when valve is opened and movement of the piston is mechanically restricted. It simply allows for a more instantaneous punching action
