Im kind of wondering now if the G&G utilizes a similar unit.
Also - watch this video:

He also didn't like how the grip couldn't be changed out either - its very slim. |
Breaking a hop up unit from over tightening has nothing to do with the material of the hop up unit itself, it has to do with the material of the gears. All of the metal hop up units I've seen also use plastic gears.
That video is of a hop up assembled incorrectly. I've never experienced this with the 3 I've worked on.
The grip can be changed out. You just need to modify it.
