There is no give in an aluminum piston head...but at least it is hitting a thin rubber pad on the cylinder head. Is that sufficient? Maybe...and if KWA did the research and put automotive class engineering into it...well that's why they did it. But would a different material be perhaps more forgiving and hedge your bets on extending the life span of the mechbox? In my opinion, yes.

KWA cylinder head is plastic which takes the impact that the sorbo on the cylinder head doesnt, the cylinder head has 3mm of sorbo padding on it to reduce impact and absorb shock. I am actually starting to like the stock hopup unit too.
