This is driving me crazy:???: The 1st thing to go on this pistol running it on propane stock was the ABS slide. The slide look stopped working from 2000 rounds aluminum slide fixed this problem. Nearly 5000 rounds latter the hop up unit cracked. the slide became stiff to rack but the gun keep firing. So I decided to field strip it because after shaking the gun It sounded like a broken BB stuck on the inside. Gun would not open then after fighting with it for 10 minuets or so it gave in. A small peace of what looks like pot metal broke off the hop up unit. The peace that hooks the barrel down to the gun frame. The part number for the peace that cracked is 18C-27 I would much rather have a after market hop up unit made of some thing stronger. This is one part that needs to be upgraded for this type of gun.

Its a pistol. There are no such things as aftermarket hop up units. Check Tokyo Model for a replacement hop up unit (hint, use advanced search and search for Pistol Parts/Tokyo Marui).
Maybe I haven't been around long enough, but I've never seen or heard of hop up units destroying themselves like that, TBH. What the heck did you do to yours?
