Yes it does, we acquired this trait in the form of a Dewalt XRP gearbox with a FP driving it (which also gave us a vital speed reduction).
Other options include worms gears, or a one way ratchet system (one of the easier ways, think box end ratchet wrench and a hex on the shaft)
I say it requires it for general safety, we always had the "ready to fire" position far enough away from tripped to prevent accidental firing from sharp contacts or such.
