Yes, I think the important data is the number of rounds you have made, not the number of years you has had the aeg. Thank you for the tips. Apparently the piston was fine, I think. When I ordered the TM gears, I also bought a TM plastic bushes in case they were needed. Anyway, yesterday I also bought a Prometheus Gears 18:1 (original torque), and Prometheus piston and pinion. Surely first I will install TM gears with original piston and pinion and when it breaks I will probe all Prometheus material. Thanks!

36k in two months is because I don´t play games. I have never play "airsoft" in my life. I use the AEG´s in my home with small targets. I like very much to take aim. I usually shot 300-1000 shots per session +-. I write all the magazines used in excell. This is why I can say the amount of shot with more or less precission. Do you use 7.4v Lipo battery in yours Tokyo Marui recoil, or use the specific NiCd Tokyo Marui battery? And do you think that your aegs have more than 35k rounds? Mine was with stock parts. I don´t want to change either the stock components, that´s why I have ordered the Tokyo Marui gears. There is no one who has broken gears or piston in a TM NGRS with 100% stock parts? At some point they have to break, I suppose...

Hi everyone! I have a Tokyo Marui MP5A5 Next Gen for two months and after 36.300 shots (most in semi), it has stopped working. It was completely with stock parts and had never been opened. It has been running on 7.4v-20C 1400mAh Lipo and G&G 0.25gr bbs. I have opened it completely and two gear sector teeth have broken in the part that engages with the spur, not with the piston. Apparently everything else is fine. I have ordered another original Tokyo Marui gear set for replace it. It is my first Tokyo Marui gun, and my question is: Is this normal that stock gears broke with 36.300 rounds? Is it the normal longevity of the stock gears? How many rounds can your next gen gears hold before breaking? And how many rounds I can hope for the piston teeth (actually there is not for sale a piston for this model) Thanks!
