For some reason this is also very common for WE g18c as well. I've seen around six if the same issue where the nub on the nozzle breaks.. Hmmm

The other reason I thinking is that when a magazine is inserted, it pushes up the air nozzle so that it is at an angle. This may prevent the air nozzle in efficiently retracting when the slide travels rearward. When the slide slams forward into battery, the bbu may be hitting the nub at an awkward angle causing the nub as well as adjacent areas on the nozzle to fracture. This may explain why the nub breaks off with a piece of nozzle. I would make sure that the nozzle return spring is installed properly (and not displaced when the gun is in action) and strong enough to return the nozzle to battery. Make sure that the coils on the nozzle return spring is symmetrical, any coils that are bent may indicate that the spring is getting caught by something, which will affect the spring's strength in returning the nozzle to battery.
