That's incorrect. That spacer "spaces" out the nozzle to the correct length so that it seats fully into the chamber and creates a seal. Without it the nozzle might not seat fully, or might blow back prematurely creating a leak.
If the spacer is too long...you will definitely crush your nozzle (that's why it's a bad ideal to keep shooting when you've got a bad jam as well).
If it's not there, it's unlikely that's the cause of the crushed nozzle.
The SCAR nozzle is aligned by the e-clip that secures it to the bolt. The flanges on the bolt are weak...and if they deform, the nozzle will go out of line and hit the cylinder with every shot. (I'd bet $1 that Noob's piston body is all deformed at the rear flange)
Yours was deformed too...but I wacked it back into shape when I swapped in the adjustable nozzle the other night.
Shelledpants was tweaked as well when I took his apart.

The weak little spring from the nozzle? That's too soft. Try a stiffer spring...the "crush" dimensions of the scar setup are very small (I think it's 2-3mm...can't remember off hand). If you put a spring in there, be sure that it "crushes" to that size or less while still exerting significant expansion force or you'll stress the other nozzle. If it's not exerting enough force...then it might give when you shoot a BB (when there's back pressure...there's no back pressure if you're dry firing) and the nozzle might set back, resulting in a leak.
Are you sure you should keep destroying this gun...it's not going to be worth anything by the time you're done with it.
