Gas Springs

Okay so I am back again. After my last post my team decided to use a spring powered linear launcher but after some browsing on Mcmaster I came to realize that most extension springs that have a bunch of power don't extend very far and vice virsa. I looked into the issue more and found gas springs and am again worried about extention speed. Will they move fast enough to move the ball? I like them because I have so much more control over size, stroke, and power.
