As in no motors that are legal to use in FRC are capable of this.

Because of how slow we need to gear our motor to be able to pull back with 100+ lb. of force, that same motor will not be able to unwind at the very high speed of our shooter.

We have not calculated this, but empirical evidence seems to confirm it. I would be surprised if there are FRC motors that wouldn't slow the rate of your shot if you left it connected.
He doesn't mean reverse as the shot motion. He means continue to drive it so the natural motion of the ratchet/pawl causes the pawl to jump one tooth. If the pawl is actively being pulled on as well during this moment it can disengage.
