Contact burning is really less of an issue than people think.
If your contacts corrode or get coated in carbon, there is something wrong elsewhere in your gun. It can be that you run too hard of a spring, bad shimming, bad motor, bad battery, a short somewhere in the wires etc.
Airsoft guns run on less than 10A. The trigger contacts are made large enough and beefy enough, even in clone guns to be able to handle that kind of load for ages.

If your contacts are burning, there is something else. By installing a FET, you will hide the symptoms, but not fix the cause.
FETs are really for when you are sure everything is perfect elsewhere, and you want better response (200% lower resistance across the whole wiring), or you know you run a heavy spring (400fps+), with good compression and there is no other solution.
