You very likely got a bad spring, as in the Nerf hobby you just don't want a spring with empty space, or a spring that at full compression is too long to catch in your gun.
Laylax stuff isn't exactly hit or miss, but it's not as reliable as PDI I'm terms of batch quality as seen by their barrels (rumored, can't say I've seen it myself as I can get a better barrel for less)
I'd suggest that you get another spring and go again, as it could have been a shitty temper or something.
I'd look at about any spring, especially Lambda or PDI, or maybe an APS2 like Lambda, PDI, Modify, or Rapax.
