Nah, its really nothing more than loading a dart, 10 pumps, and a trigger pull. Nothing fancy or special, just what you'd expect from a slow airblaster.
I have tried, but I can't recall what blasters they fit in.
Although I do know that the Doubleshot's springs are great in Retaliators. Definitely worth it, because you get two of those springs, and a blaster ready to be converted to an airblaster. It's pretty great.
