Shouldn't there be an old and a revised version of the hi-capa?
The nozzle doesn't ALWAYS crack, but in my experience, it's always cracked sooner rather than later.

(By "later", I mean 10,000+ rounds).

In a 4.3, I've had the nozzle crack or explode on me within one mag of use about 90% of the time.
