All out-of-the-box Ares G36 guns I've seen (and S&T/Umarex clones) use clear plastic pistons and piston heads, plain grey shrinkwraped motors with soldered contacs, and typical white Tamiya connectors, not those yellow ones. Also, the gears look mismatched, each one from a different origin.
Ares does have QC issues, but this looks like a bad tech job made with second hand parts taken from ACM guns...

Looks exactly like my friend's G36C, which he bought a year ago brand new from a retailer.
It happens with a lot of new guns, stock pistons are seldom known for reliability.
You should just disable the blowback (remove the slider at the top of the mechbox) and install a TM stock piston or Modify Ultra speed (the white ones).
AOE won't make a piston explode like that. No one cared for AOE a few years ago, and it does not change that much in AEGs. All it will cause is premature wear on the piston (say after 20k shots instead of 50k) on normal setups. Materials quality is a lot more important in the cause of failure.
