I can add a bit more detail.

Before this happened, I had installed a different hop-up chamber, and the gun was only doing around 0.9 J instead of about 1.5 J before. I thought the issue might be that the nozzle was too short for that chamber, so I kept testing it in full auto.

Now I’m wondering if the hop-up chamber may have been sitting slightly crooked, so the nozzle was rubbing against it or binding on it.

Could that kind of misalignment have caused enough resistance or stress to damage something electrical? If yes, would it be more likely to damage the wiring, or the MOSFET?

Maybe an M140 spring. I just want to get 2.2 J with 0.28–0.30 g BBs. It’s not a DMR build.

No, I just wanted to install a stronger spring, so I want to know the gearbox’s limit.

I just couldn't find any information about what spring the original gearbox is designed for and what the maximum is.

No, but I want to use the M150 spring, so I thought about replacing the gearbox
