KJW P226 breaking nozzles

[Sully]

So I'll get straight to the point. My KJW P226 keeps breaking loading nozzles. I've been through probably 3 in the last few months. I have been replacing with Guarder enhanced nozzles.

I have Guarder 150% recoil and hammer springs installed, sealed up the mags with liquid gasket and swapped the mag release to the right hand side of the frame to compensate for my obvious disadvantage of being a lefty in a righty's world. Other than that my gun is stock.

Could it possibly be the springs causing this? Or could it be something else to blame? Here is a pic to show the break. It's almost the same every time.



I have a bunch of parts coming in as well as a TM P226 that I bought off a user today so I'm definitely in no rush but I'd still really like to know what's going on here.

Thanks in advance.

Might be the spring considering its the only part you changed that could affect anything like that. Also I'm not familiar with the P226 but I have a KJW P229 and the stock spring is quite stiff -- first GBB I've owned that I didn't feel needed a spring upgrade, for that matter -- so I'm wondering if the 150% spring set was actually necessary in the 226?

I'd try swapping back in the stock springs and see if it still occurs.

I think that's what I'm going to do when the new nozzles show up or after my parts box gets unpacked in my airsoft room at the new place, whichever happens first. I like the feel of the 150's but if it's what's causing it I'll definitely switch back to the stock springs. Thanks for the tip.
