The second thing I did was add normal tape to the side of the bbu, because there was a slight wobble. Now there is no wobble and I tightened the rear sight screw.
Indoors, the gun was shooting pretty well. I took it outside today and it sucked. This is because it is pretty cold outside and the mags were freezing. I noticed that it started to shoot full auto, and since this is only because the bbu does not lock down the hammer, I checked the bbu once again. The area where the bearing hits the bbu is broken and the back of the nozzle is exposed. Also, the problem with the slide not going forward all the way and the hop up unit not working reoccurred.
I came back inside, lubed it, and made sure the mags were toasty and went back inside. My new mag seems to be working better, the slide locked back after all the bbs were gone. The hop up unit worked and the bbs flew straight except for when the gas started to run out.
Once again, the main problem seems to be that the nozzle fits tightly inside of the bucking. When I put silicone on the nozzle, it enters and leaves the nozzle very smoothly, but once the lube dries up, the same problems occur: the slide does not go forward all the way and therefore the hop up does not work.
Any advice? Tomorrow I will stop by a hardware store to pick up some new tools along with paint stripper so I can strip the paint off of my guide rod, barrel stop, and body pins.

If your nozzle is too tight around bucking, try using a thinner material to the hop up modification you did. If IRC, you put a piece of plastic(?) which may be giving you more pressure than you actually need.
As I stated in the past, a stronger recoil spring should fix your slide issue. A stronger spring will give the slide return a higher velocity. Thus, it should force your loading muzzle into the bucking more effectively.
The side effect is that, depending on how stiff the recoil spring, it may end up short stroking your gun.
The other option is already suggested above. Buy a new and SOFTER hop up bucking.
did you chrono your gun yet? I'm curious to know what the power outage is on your gun.
