My gears proceeded to eat the hunks of "metal" that came off the piston. Compare that to the 3 bags of 0.30's that Prometheus hard lasted with the M230 spring.

Granted not everyone needs or wants a gun that shoots 650fps but if want to spend the money to put a piston into a gun that can handle 650fps for several thousand rounds, I'm sure it will last at least that long on a properly shimmed box at your local club's energy limits

Shs pistons and super shooter pistons have worked wonders in all my builds. If you look on airsoft mechanics they are the most recommended piston. First off, were did a m230 spring and what were you attempting to accomplish with that? Second, which piston exactly were you using and was you aoe adjusted? A link to the piston would be nice because I remembered that a run of SHS pistons were bad in a particular model.
