I'd just like to point out that this is what I too believed before I learned about AoE and pre-engagement. Don't listen to this advice. You can run a $10 metal rack piston through 50-100K rounds at 410fps@40rps and never break it.
The whole "sacrificial anode" theory of pistons and gears is from an age when extremely nice gears didn't cost $30 and extremely nice pistons didn't cost $10. That age is over.
