Actually Stalker, LUTNIT's right, the springs are too soft and don't return the piston fast enough for the gears. I've seen the wear on the pistons, and couldn't figure out why it was so backward till LUTNIT outlined the high speed gears/motor. The wear is completely reversed of what you see normally on a piston; rather than wearing at the rear where the sector gear picks up the piston, its at the front where the sector gear is now slamming the piston gears just because the piston has not yet returned forward. It is almost as if the piston is never fully forward on most rotations!

The helical designs, have also greatly reinforced the gears, making it easier for the high ROF of greater FPS.
